Style of Play

I think that during the pressing days they staff knew very well that they didn't have to plan for Prairie View A&M. We were going to run them into the ground 100-50 no matter what.

So, the staff would plan ahead for Texas or Memphis or Florida, try to blindside them with defenses and offenses, and basically just roll out the ball in the meantime.

Absolutely I think that.

I mean, sure, they put together an offensive and defensive plan, but I believe it's pretty vanilla. The really good film-watching and game-planning and detailed scouting they save for the "name" opponents.

There's no doubt to say that all coaches at major programs put more time into "big opponents" but to say there is not much game planning involved outside of those big games is a reach. Comparatively speaking, yes, but little to none for weaker team, definitely not.

It's not that their is not a gameplan, but when you base your system around pressure there are few adjustments to be made when you play a scrub team a couple days after a big game. It's much simpler because you know from the get go that the other team can't handle your basic packages in the first place. So even though you aren't as prepared as you may be for a game against Memphis, you still run roughshod over them.
