I hate to burst your bubble, but Chavis IS going to play a soft zone behind the sticks on 3rd and long.

I wonder, sometimes...There are numerous occasions where we played this type defense with 3rd or 4th and long yardage under Pelini, as well...(Tenn '05, Ark '07-triple overtime, just to name 2)...so, the question has to be asked, what is the common denominator between the same scheme with 2 different defensive coordinator's...and it would be interesting to add that the 2 different d-coordinator's play aggressive style defenses except in certain crucial situations? I don't know that the answer to this question is an absolute, but one would have to admit that it's an intriguing question...I don't think we'll ever know the real answer so the respective coordinators will continue to take the "fall".
