Haven’t seen any discussion on this topic. NCSU runs a 3 3 5 defense. How do we go
about attacking this scheme?

I have no clue. I’m not on the coaching staff. I imagine the game plan is to score at least 1 point more than them.

That's actually a great question because the 335 is where this offense has shown its weaknesses in the past.

This may be where those 2 TE sets we keep hearing about come into play.

Right up the a**

That’s all I can give. I’m in my 40s now and although I want the vols to win every game and I will go see a few, I just don’t have the time to analyze like others do. I do enjoy reading what people have to say, but this was more or less just a smart butt comment.

If NC State doesn't have a different package, we have the advantage with spread and uptempo offense. So power running and play action/designed QB runs, then mix in screens and deep routes. We should score a lot.

If they only keep 6 in the box, we simply run down their throat all night.

If they drop a safety down, we do anything we want

Outside of Missouri, what’s your other example? Missouri was a really good defense.

Pedal to the metal and don’t let up all day!!!

 

[Vol865]

Iso, Power, Dart, Trap, Buck Sweep, RPOs

Basically just run our offense

Austin Peay was running it if I’m not mistaken. We all know that final score was not indicative of the game. We looked terrible in that game until we pulled away late.

Feed Sampson and have Nico steal a few first downs with his feet. Wear them down and then light them up through the air.

That is one hell of a small sample size.

Yes

 

[DaddyChad]

They’ve struggled against RPO as well. Nico probably has to take off a few times to give them another element to defend. Really depends on how well our Oline does though.

It’s wild to me that we are trying to create some narrative about our “struggles against a 3-3-5” based on a season in which we couldn’t throw the ball and against a very high level defense in Missouri.

This entire thing seems absurd to me. I think we are so good this year that people are just searching hard for the negative and failing to find it

Our offense looked busted last year against way more teams than 3-3-5 teams. Singling that out is goofy as hell.

The common denominator was behind the center.

Not trying to be negative, just curious about how you attack this defensive alignment. I personally believe if our offensive line controls the los our running backs will feast. Nico has to not force passes, and use his feet when necessary.

 

[LittleVol]

Stage 1
- Ethan Davis over the middle
- Nico using his legs
- Bru Blocking

Stage 2
- Sampson out in the flat
- Brazzell over the middle

Stage 3
- Running Down hill (RBs)
- Throwing Deep Thornton - White

Stage 4
- More running with Keith and Bishop
- Merklinger flat passes to Lewis.

Here is a great write up on it
The 3-3-5 Defense: An In-Depth Guide

I dont think its going to fly very well because we have a killer center and our OL is going to create some serious space for our RBs to gash them on the edges. Then they try to stack the box to stop the bleeding and viola Nico begins a tutorial on how to air out the football. Suddenly they are down 14 and its still 5 mins in Q1. Trying to play catch up for their O is going to be bad bad bad.

inSideful would’ve been a more appropriate response to my statement.

But on a serious note I think we run right at them and they’ll start to sneak up and then we hit them over the top for huge plays
