However, IMO he isn't correct

In just about every 3rd and 5+ we went with 3 DEs and 1 DT with Baron typically in the 3 technique *often the DEs were Young, Josephs and Baron)
Then we would run stunts off of that, like the 1st sack in the tweet
Only in Example 2 were in a standard 2+2 set on the line

Also, I don't remember them attempting to run on that set, even with C Rod in the game

He is correct that we were able to get pressure without blitzing a lot.
We ran one corner blitz (from the defense's right) and got burned because the LB or safety didn't rotate over behind it
It was in the 2nd quarter because KY was headed South

A note:  Baron tends to gett chippy at times.  One time last night he literally stood where Ky was to huddle, jawing at the KY players (probably the 1st quarter as Ky was headed North and they were just inside our territory

Our defensive front played a heck of a game and a lot rotated out...We didn't run as much stunts and blitzes as we did against LSU and Bama which is a good thing. Run defense for the most part was good...Broke down a few times but played well.

I was in Knoxville a couple weeks ago and heard an interview of Garner on local sports talk.  He tries to rotate 10-12 DL in the game because the offense is so fast they are out there a lot.

We need to hold on to that guy as long as we can.  :biggrin:
