BLITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blitz early and often. I can live with us giving up a big play because we sent 6 or 7 at the QB and he makes a nice quick read and we get burnt..

What I can't live with is a blown coverage that the QB has 10 seconds to find because we are rushing 4 against 6 blockers on their o-line.

I don't care how they do it, but if we don't get pressure on the QB tonight

Their offensive line sucks, especially against what is supposed to be the best defensive line in the country. Garcia needs to know he's going to get hurt if he holds on to the ball too long, and he needs to know this on his first offensive series.

Ok...got a question for you:

If we blitz...who's gonna provide the over the top coverage. Do we have the corners to put on an island by themselves? Who covers the back slipping out on the wheel route? Blitz the safety's? Who's got over the top coverage? What about the quick slant/hot route from the tight end?

To me blitzes are a calculated gamble. We need to stunt more with Pittman/Alem and Predator coming outside in.

And no...I'm not a coach..nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn....I'm merely a fan...and a high school Football official.

Who wants to eat some crow today? We blitzed more than usual last night and it worked. We didn't give up one big play because of the blitz. I hope we keep up the agressive play calling.

I loved the blitzing that we did, and just the pressure alone from the 4 linemen was sufficient at times.

However, we did get burnt at least once when we came on a blitz on USC's first touchdown to the tightend.
