5 2 4? 5 3 3? Why would we only play with 10 men

Because we're just that good!  Or, I made a typo.  You decide.

Just rewatched the game. It was not as bad as I thought. After the opening drive the D really settled down. At the start of the 4th there were a lot of subs. The starting LBs went back in for goal line in the two TDs but it was too late.

Yeah the defense seemed also more aggresive in the first.

I think the coaches let the players played to see how they do individually and then make adjustments after the first real game.

Plus, Elon had huge people. I was very surprised by their size on offense. When you come up against that size and you don't scheme well, you get pushed around. That's what happened to us.

I think that's the point some of us are trying to make...DL is undersized and didnt get much push against Elon. While our typical set wont be 4-5 men at the line, we will need them for GT and other run heavy offenses. I expect to see 7 in the box on our D and GT challenging us up the gut to take advantage...

I think our DL is going to put a lot of pressure on our LB core, and the LB are going to have to step up to make up for our weakness at DL. As @Bull Dozer mentioned Hector and Senat are hard to replace. I hope I am wrong but that's the one thing I noticed against Elon.

I don't think GT cares how many we have in the box. They're going to run the option. If we don't fill gaps properly we're going to have an extremely worn out defense by the 4th qtr.

Yes, it wont change their offensive scheme, but it will change where they run.

I hope we have a run game to control some clock bc the hurry up O was fast against Elon.
