We played a LOT of man last night
We did play zone some and when we did we played it a Lot better than we typically do

In man I was very surprised that we played man single up against Leggett
How tight we played was dependent on the down and distance
We did press him a lot, Hadden was really good last night in man coverage
If it was a long distance we kept the receiver in front of us (see Hadden?s position on the pick 6)
We would tend to rotate the single high safety over to leggett?s side but not always

Walkers was flying around all night making plays, his best game so far
Tank played well for the most part but both he and Walker took bad angles on the 75 yard TD
GJ-L played well
The LBs played well in pass coverage, all 4 of them
With the pressure we were getting with the front 4 it allowed the back 7 to play more free

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Was their best defensive play of the season...Got a feeling after that Florida cluster Heupel put the fear in the DC...and should have.
