Question about defense

[NTDawg]

Question to yall who know more about the Xs and Os than me, which maybe everyone. What did we do differently yesterday on defense? I know we made some personnel changes but did we do something differently scheme wise that made a difference? Or is Samford's offense better than TA&M's ***

Bump because I'm curious

Well, not playing Trevor Knight was nice. I thought we brought a little more pressure, but seemed like an effort improvement more than anything else. The DL played very well. Richie Brown made plays. McLaurin showed some flashes.

Did Bryant see the field after the Knight TD run?

One thing was we either took away the middle or they didn't attack it. A soft middle has been our problem going back '14. I could not see what was going on to tell if it was us or them, from a tv perspective.

Reading between the press conference lines, Dan kept his cotton pickin' hands off

I'm not sure Hubenak isn't a better passer than Knight. He was awful even before the injury. Should've had an easy 90 yard TD on the first play of the game and he missed Kirk by a mile.

We just seemed a whole lot more aggressive than I've seen all season. Guys were getting pressure on the QB and flying to ball carriers. The secondary seemed like they had a clue for the first time all season. I thought tackling was very good from everybody.

Most of it was a really good game from our front seven, but I thought the secondary did some good things. Had some mistakes, but had some big plays too. Especially McLaurin.

Less cushion, MUCH better tackling, less Bryant, more effort, and Sirmon mixed in some stunts and twists that were effective. That's what I saw anyway. I think sitting some folks that haven't been giving much effort was a big factor also.

Certainly got off blocks better than recently. LBs played well. As stated, tackling was so much better than it has been. Maybe one or two whiffs. That's better than 6-10 of them. Effort was all over the field. Except for BB. He saw very few minutes. Thinking the injury to Kivon kept him out there the last three weeks, by default. Last play of the game we played bump and run and dropped both safeties. Amazing to see!
