Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1870650, member: 485"] SWC: What I saw last Friday was SU defense that keeps 8 guys back to cover everyone and everything, (even 6-4 receivers), then closes in, maintaining their lanes and makes clear, crisp “Hawk” tackles with plenty of defenders around the guy with the ball. That’s what we need against this team- and Notre Dame, Clemson and Florida State – and whoever we meet in the bowl game. I also saw a defense that changed it up in passing situations -- adding a LB (Hodge) and a S (Ellison) in place of the DTs, and getting a speed rush. Not sure we can describe Ward's defense with just one pattern. We might see a different variation tomorrow night. [/QUOTE]
