found the defensive line rotation interesting in the second half

besides the usual suspects of williams, fox, oyewale, ibukin-okeyode, mitchell, misi and d'abreu, there was a tico brown sighting and markis deal was getting reps as well

Through 3 games, TCU's rushing defense has been elite.

60YPG at 1.82YPC. We're solidly in the top 10 in the country against the rush on most metrics.

Here is an example:

Houston in in a 3-wide TE tight pistol alignment. Since there is no receiver to the near side, Canada is dropped down in run support. Obiazor is playing inside the hash showing maybe a green dog blitz? Perry is single high. As the play rolls, the fake handoff pulls Canada and the LBers, but as soon as all of them read the fake all the players retreat. The TE stays in pass protect. Obiazor bails to cover the slant. Canada pulls back into coverage. Hodge is playing possibly to spy the QB? The QB throws deep (WR beats his man) and picks up PI on the play. 7 blockers on 3 rushers with 4 defenders on 3 WRs and a safety with 3 guys basically out of the play. Shouldn't we have at least one more coming on this play?

Also, what if the RB leaked out during this play to the near side?

remember when we thought we were really challenging the defense out of the split back veer and the quarterback could either hand off on the dive or to really change things up hit the tight end on the short pop pass or the flanker on a quick slant

watch some of theses plays unfold and i really don't know how the defenses ever make a right decision. have said it before and will say it again, but i would love to hear shannon and maybe someone like kindred discuss the challenges of the rop offenses

I would very much like to hear about our 3-3-5 from someone of this caliber. In particular, how we consistently end up with receivers that find soft spots among 8 drops that just gash us. I know it was a one-off, but I keep thinking about the NC game and Georgia guys just running loose. I get the feeling, again, that we're going to get this false sense of security in Big 12 play, then if we run up against a pro-style offense like Georgia in a bowl game, we're going to get torched again. I'm obviously not covering any new ground here, and I think the concept can work. There's just something about our flavor of 3-3-5 that leaves receivers wide open, pushes runners to the boundaries (as opposed to back inside toward would-be tacklers), etc.

Again, I would love to hear someone actually break the issues down as I don't think we have personnel issues.
