Jordan Jefferson would disagree since that formation won him a game against Tennessee.

Playing 11 on 13 is always tough.

Just curious. If it shuts down the run, why don’t more people use it?


The 13 player on the field penalties can get pretty tedious to be fair.

Absolutely running against a 3-5-5 is tough. In fact any defense that's allowed to play 13 defenders is gonna be tough.

I went to the Tech game last week (not my choice) and they ran a 4-3 defense and didn’t need to do much to beat NSU. They totally flipped the script and played 3-3 against LSU and we were not prepared for it. Tech did their homework and was very well prepared
