You need to get as much speed on the field on D as possible these days with spread offenses taking over college football. Instead we played with essentially 2 DTs (Chick and Pierre) and a NT (Heurt) on our DL.
AQM and Thomas need to be at their natural weights. Grace and Owens should almost never leave the field.
DE: Thomas, Jackson
DT: Heurt, Jenkins
DT: Kamalu, Moten
DE: AQM, Harris
OLB: Owens
MLB: Kirby, Young
OLB: Grace
3rd down:
McCord, Thomas, Kamalu, AQM
Owens, Grace
3 CBs, 2 S
That would actually be a pretty attractive front 7 outside the depth at LB. McCord gets lost in the mix a little because he's too light in the *** to be a full time 4-3 DE and too slow in space to be a 4-3 OLB.
