Our D should be stiff at the beginning,  but it needs to get lathered up I guess. 

Sometimes you need some initial contact to warm you up to bring it.

I sure hope so, Sanjay. We've let some terrible running teams go crazy on our D in "bend but don't break" fashion. UConn actually has a decent O-line and running attack.

I prefer a D that doesn't bend. I'm all about a D that scores.

Depends on the position the offense puts you in. Sometimes the D is more successful when it bends ever so slightly so it can come at the right angle before it scores.

Would it be wrong to say our D needs to penetrate their backfield?

Not wrong at all.  They just need to make sure they get a quick release in the face of the QB as often as possible.

Or maybe they use two Tight Ends for extra protection.
