Found this article and thought it was pretty interesting. Espcially since they use Aranda's defense at LSu as the poster child for the 3-4 "Tite" defense

Lays out the pros and cons of both and here si the TL;DR version

4-2-5

Pros: 2 edge rushers, can use different coverages
Cons: B gap WLB issues that are exactly why RPOS offenses take advantage of.

3-4 or what they call a "TITE" formation

Pros: gets rid of that B Gap confusion and pushed everything outside
Cons: only 1 edge rusher on passing downs and limits DL's pass rushing potential as they generally al need to be bigger.

Food for thought in our transition, but I don't remember enough about Bo's defense to break down what he does now.

4-2-5 nickel is the only way to play modern football.

Was concerned about the Chiefs switching to a 4-3, 4-2-5, etc last year, but they eventually won the Super Bowl. But then they also brought in Tyrann, so who knows

I remember against Florida in 2005, Pelini used some 3 man lines specifically to combat the spread offense.
