That was the case last year. Then against Pitt we brought lots of pressure, and it was the single biggest difference between winning that game and losing that game. We didn't bring enough pressure against Akron early, but then cranked it up again.
Today, Banks inexplicably went away from the blitz somewhat. We did blitz, but imo not enough because we seldom got pressure on Richardson without blitzing. I felt the defensive game plan was too conservative. Last year we all thought Banks was reluctant to blitz because he had far too many liabilities in the back end and was trying to cover for their shortcomings. I don't doubt that. But UF certainly didn't enter this game with a stellar passing game. However, because we gave Richardson all day to stand back there and throw, he wound up with a career high in terms of yardage...by far.
CW...this is what I was thinking, and seems likely. I have always preferred to be aggressive on D. IMO this was the lesson Chavis learned in 1998 vs UF, when we flat out got after that D-bag QB of theirs (Duh-g Johnson I think). I hope we pin back the ears and go after the LSU guy.
Pirate to your point, I was aware that wasn't the only time we blitzed I had seen a few more. I think Danielson meant "finally blitzed
again" and that's how I took it.
