How Do We Attack NCSU Defense

[CincinnatiVols]

This... People tend to think whatever opponents base defense is, that's what personnel they will be locked into lol

Well that is kind of one of the main advantages to Heupel's system. You can pick what personnel you start the drive with, but after that we aren't gonna let you sub.

It's always about numbers and safety position. If the Vols can't run against a 3 man front then they are in big trouble. I don't see NCST being able to run against the UT D-line.

 

[VolunteerVFL]

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

The Huep offense is fairly simple. It's all a numbers game....and it's really fast.

•Spread it wide.
•Force the defense to show their hand while lined up
• +/= numbers in the box, run it straight ahead.
• - numbers in the box = man/1on1 coverage outside and I'll take our WRs Every. Single. Time.

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

A big dose of Dylan Sampson goes a long way in this game.

Insightful

Disregard. Some don’t have the intellect to add content to the board.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

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.

We basically used that game as Joe Milton’s very own “Get Right” game to see how we could improve throwing the ball over the middle. It was an obviously an ugly performance.

 

[UTK]

Run and pass.

 

[Volfan76]

I expect to see some big run plays. The 3-3-5 is designed to confuse o line but it also means if the linebacker coming down is on a different side than the rb goes, the rb will have a chance for big runs. Also expect slot receivers and TEs to eat today. Should be big plays all around.

 

[sechamp2012]

In the seams if you’re throwing it and off the edge if you’re running it. 4 verticals will always kill cover 3 which is the base for stack 3. Also you’re QB & skills have to execute

Another insightful response incoming.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

The same way we did Alabama's two years ago

 

[Orange_Rush]

However we want apparently.

Reminder to the Overthrow Joe fans. Nico was on the bench last year. They have now out scored opponents 142-6 in his starts. Reminder. He was on the bench all year last year watching overthrow Joe talking smack after overthrowing a wide open receiver by 30 yards.

 

[Padi7777]

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.

3 man front? Run run run.

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Like I said earlier,run the ball.Then run them off the field

 

[GameTime]

Blow the whistle...Blow the whistle!

 

[Big Orange stuck in Bama]

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.

Wow…..I think it was a great question. it isn’t necessary to be jerk when someone is wanting to discuss Tennessee football

 

[ENGRVOL]

Think now that we have 3 quality TEs playing 12 personnel formation is going to allow us to attack the 3-3-5 much better than previous years

 

[FranklinVFL]

Post-game observation:

Any way we want to.

 

[Halph66]

Early, and often. GBO!

I want to attack the middle of that defense bc I don’t think their linebackers are worth a damn. I want to run straight at them, work the RPO game and hit some slants and underneath stuff. They’re going to try and keep everything in front of them so the quick hitters outside the hash are going to be there too. Eventually we’re going to hit one over the top.

Nailed it.

I stand by my pregame assessment of their linebackers

The lack of quick screens was interesting to me. I would have loved to have seen more (although I know most of our fan base hates them)

I’m not sure why we didn’t. Maybe they were playing a lot of press?

Dropping 8- I believe they had CBs playing to jump those routes in the short flat.

I thought #0 made some good plays for them but doesn’t mean he graded well.
