[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 167953, member: 2451"] Interesting thoughts: Miami shut down Oklahoma's wishbone by using the deep middle linebacker with two outside linebackers lined up just off the defensive end. We saw this alignment this past season but Perriman just did not have enough help. Some will recall Sean Spence (spelling?) being very effective against us a few years ago in a similar set. Burden had great success getting to Perriman and that set up the dive plays nicely. The spread works by freezing the linebackers for just a moment. It's great for teams that prefer finesse like UNC. Personally, I like our version better because the linemen do not have to hold their blocks as long. The Bback is hitting that gap so quickly that it wears defenses down. Also, I like the counter trap we run off of our version and the fact that the fakes create hesitation on the part of the linebackers. How to stop our version of the spread? Penetration by tackles and bringing those safeties up in run support. Yes, I know it leads to big plays passing but if I am a defensive coordinator facing Georgia Tech I would rather take some chances. Some advocate playing assignment defense which is all well and good but Johnson is so good at adjustments that it is difficult to mix and match assignments often enough. Want to beat Georgia Tech?
