tears. literally and figuratively.
VT showed how to stuff the run on the goal line against us. We need a snap shot of that. 11 men in the box.
Maybe GT presented the threat of an option in this situation, hence the need to place the LBs in a different spot than VT did against us. I don't know how VT lined up in that situation but we don't present the threat of an option in the same situation. Perhaps, if there is more of a risk of the GT QB running outside with the threat of a pitch to the RB, we need to have our LBs further back to read and react to that possibility. If we bring our LBs up tight, does that mean that the QB can get outside quickly and maybe make a pitch while our LBs are stuck inside? I'm just trying to figure out if there is a rationale for the different alignments given the tendencies of the two teams on the goal line. We scout GT and VT scouts us, and certainly knows our tendencies in goal line offense.
We're a completely different team offensively from GT, so that might dictate different defensive alignments in a similar situation. If I'm wrong, please explain why, and please, no invective or irrational responses. Please explain intelligently why there would not be the need for a different alignment given the differences in the two offenses.
