re: What is Ryan's defense, really?

On another note, did any others find the 4-2-5 defense that TCU ran interesting? That's prolly a lot from the wide open spread offenses in the Big 12. With the NFL following in this direction we'll prolly see more of that. I liked the one DB that was kinda a LB-DB hybrid. Sumpin like that might be a fit for harper.

Ryan basically runs a lot of 3-3-5 which is the cousin of the 4-2-5(both are nickel sets). He'll also run some 4-2-5 and 2-4-5 and a bunch of other "crazy" stuff.

But I think what we'll see most(but not really as a base because I don't think we'll see anything run so much as to consider it a base) is the 3-3-5 with Harper in the box which basically looks like a 3-4.

He ran the same thing in Dallas a lot.
