#1 I brought up the '01 team. I don't give **** about what Butch did against a pro style coach who was just playing running the spread. Butch didn't shut anybody else down all year. Kiffin who actually runs a spread lit him up for the 3rd year in a row. #2 Then your memory is worse than the SD...

Nope. You can look at the West Virginia highlights from '01. One of the true spread teams on the schedule. Bunch of 5 and 6 DB looks. Reed and Lewis as the safeties. Rumph and Buch as the CBs. Fitzgerald and Marshall as your nickel and dime DBs

He shut it down by using 5 and sometimes 6 DBs.

Why not? Because having Markese Fitzgerald/Alphonso Marshall on the field against Justin Jefferson in the slot is a better option than having Clark or Campbell/Williams spot drop in a zone. You can go watch the games against West Virginia back then. We weren't in base 4-3

The 2001 team wouldn't have 3 LBs on the field at all times. Howard/Campbell wouldn't be on the field against LSU.

And the 49ers were the team of the 80s for a reason.
