Like a dungeon dragon?Gary Patterson never mentions anything about "variances", like lining up in prevent against Georgia Tech on 2nd and goal from the 2, which tells me that he doesn't know what the **** he's talking about.
And are his defenders roaring?
Could you imagine a 4-2-5 with SFL athletes?
4+2+5 =11.....Gary Patterson is the "4" in his 4-2-5 defense
That's how good it is...they only need 10 guys on the field

Just because Patterson’s defenders are reading the offense doesn’t mean they’re passive, though. “Where we are different from other teams is our rule for our safeties: ‘Don’t go till you know,’” Patterson said at a 2015 clinic. “Other teams have their safeties backpedal, but we sit there and flat-foot shuffle. We want you to try to throw vertical. I was a front coach for many years before I became a secondary coach. There is nothing worse than a secondary coach who is always worried about getting beat deep. We want to take away the short game, we want to take away combination routes, and we want to stop the run.”TCU’s defense does all three.
Most teams play base defense against up-tempo offenses as they just want to be sure to get lined up correctly, making them predictable and, in turn, allowing offenses to pile up easy yards, first downs, and points. That approach does not appeal to Patterson: “The first thing you must do is make a good first-down call,”
Quote of the century and what should be the death knell in Paul Williams' coffin, but it isn't. Paul Williams is CONSTANTLY talking about limiting explosive plays. It's his chief priority and it speaks to the defense's overall philosophy.
