re: Surprisingly we've opened as a 21 point favorite against Central Michigan

He will run crossing routes all game long and mid match his running back against our Lb in the passing game.

He'll have his defense blitzing the shite out of max.

yep, pretty much. Crossing routes and motion to move LBs/Ss and run the ball out of a pro set or split spread. And that RB is pretty damn good.

I think it's time to scrap our zone. Period. Definitely for this game. I know it is supposed to be better for run support, but our DBs are shut downs and they're covering empty space. The problem is the LBs (and Ss). They are supposed to be covering space too. They are. Just only select portions however. We see 2 LBs covering Stingley while somewhere else proportionally equivalent to all of Iowa's cornfields a RB or TE is feeling wheepy because he is all alone. All while putting run stoppage all on the DL.

Let's let our corners shut some people down and get those LBs closer to the LoS either sacking QBs or concussing RBs. If TE releases, go with him. It's called man to man for a reason.

Because you are right- he will run 7 yd crossers all day and Nichols is going to get 40 carries.
