Sounds counter-intuitive but that is Lea's way. Forcing them to rush runs clock, which alters their high tempo. Cut down on yards per carry and put them in unfamiliar down/distance. Tempo teams do not like this.I agree we take away their underneath, which is their bread and butter. To do that we play press/man like we did against UM and FSU and we contest the ball. The deep ball we defense with our relentless pressure. Of course, takeaways are huge. Only blitz I would do would be Gilman down the pike and maybe an occasional Tevon/Drue. They are susceptible to safety blitz. But only a handful of other than 4 man pressure.
