That schematic shift sounds like what we tried back in the late 90s under Charlie Bailey, and it got us torched by the better passing teams. You can't just play aggressive man coverage in this league without elite corners, and I haven't seen a shutdown guy at Youngstown since maybe the Tressel era. They'll give up those deep shots, alright, and good teams like North Dakota State will make them pay every single time. A top-three defense is built on discipline and tackling, not just spring film hype. I remember when a solid, reactive defense won us the 2000 Humanitarian Bowl. This feels like change for change's sake.
