You have to either force the defense to play a medium or deep zone, or have them play a hyper-aggressive attacking defense.

Or, you have to hope that they have Jon Tenuta as their DC.

    • They are no longer sneaky and don't work. DBs recognize them very quickly now. [NT] - oldirish - 7:06pm 9/2/25
    • TCU used them a lot against NC, but they also threw downfield and ran the ball. Can't be a solo item [NT] - LanceManion - 6:30pm 9/2/25
      • Sonny Dykes is a very good and very underrated coach.... [NT] - irishslovak - 6:56pm 9/2/25
        • Agree. He had his team ready to play & used the weapons he has. [NT] - LanceManion - 7:08pm 9/2/25
    • They have their place. But not when they are fully anticipated... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 6:13pm 9/2/25
