this is against the spread. 3-3.

Not French but like you said, ECU had definitely not shown that at all before this game. We had our back-side DEs crashing down the line hard all game against the run because they had never used any designed QB keeps in the running game. On the long ECU keeper by Carden, they had a designed run to counter Gayle coming down the line. Even with Gayle taking himself out of that play, Fuller was in position to make a tackle for a short gain and took a bad angle and missed the tackle. Still a good design defensively against the type of QB and offense we are playing. We were essentially getting an extra defender against any give to the RB without having to bring in extra defender in the box. With Carden not being a good runner, we assumed our corners and safeties could react and limit any gains if he kept the ball.

Against teams with better running threats at QB, if they are a spread, zone read team we will have to have to play our safeties a little bit closer to the LOS and have our backside defensive ends be a lot more conservative and disciplined. Of course, if we are bringing a wide blitz from the play-side or the back-side, those responsibilities would change because we would also be slanting on the play and gap responsibilities would change.

Exum was more impressive as a corner then as a safety IMO. Not convinced he'd be moved back to safety regardless of what the decision is.

That's exactly what I was thinking. His draft stock last year wasn't high enough for him to leave early. After an ACL injury I'm sure it has fallen a good amount. He's better off coming back and showing everyone that he's fine.

DONE ......AND.........DONE!

Why would it be awesome for Exum? Dudes already got one degree, working on another. He will be healthy by the combine. Unless his recovery is way behind where we have been told, it would not be advisable to come back.

If you are an NFL prospect, your job is to get there as soon and as healthy as possible.

You sure? I feel like teams would shy away from a guy coming off a major knee injury, hadn't played football in a year and was only really playing good football for the last half of the 2012 season. I think he could help his draft stock considerably by having a healthy, productive Super-RS-Senior season.

Exum would be better off going to the NFL than spending a 6th year in college.

Well, I just hope whatever happens with Exum, it's all for the best.

In addition, just realized Holland Fischer will hopefully be here next year to boost the defense!

i dont mean just hot chicks around campus, i mean employees of the athletic department who do that job. they tend to be attractive young women, not students though.
