As long as we run the 4-2-5 we going to be skraight. That defense is a game changer the same way the spread offense was when it came into football. (I have been running the 4-2-5 ever since like NCAA 08. The first team I seen running it was TCU and Gary Patterson, back when WVU and Rich Rod ran the 3-3-5.) 4-2-5 is perfect for college football bc most teams try to spread u out and u have more DBs on the field that can cover more ground quickly. IMO Bubba Bolden aka Taylor Mays 2.0 is perfect for the striker position, which is essentially a more athletic linebacker and a roamer on the field. But yeah, couldn't go wrong with a spread option offense and a 4-2-5 defense hoping that's what we run.
4-2-5 is just a nickle alignment. What makes TCU's approach unique or at least at the time was their coverage schemes. TCU runs a lot of zone but they pattern match and not spot drop. TCU also runs mixed coverages. Based on the offensive alignment, TCU may run zone on one side and man on the other.
