Maybe selective blitzes than all the time- LBs are fast enough but need to stop overrunning and being out of place. I think we have a chance to win this if defense steps up a little and play smart.
Seems that base defense may be best for our players at this stage- second half Pitt and Illinois

Bottom line - if this D can show up to play in pd. 1 instead of pd. 3, then I think we’ve got a great chance. Keep in mind, their vaunted D hasn’t exactly been flawless either.
All good until they turn up the gas and start keeping our D on the field without substitution. That’s how they won last year and what happened v App State when we tired out. Expect this in q 3 or 4 if the game is close or if we are ahead.
