I'll Never forget his run against Clemson in 2009.

This is a great run, but it's even a greater play. What do you mean DCS, you ask? Watch how everybody does their job. Watch how Clemson doesn't blow any assignments but it still doesn't matter. Watch how the inside defenders, including the MLB, are focused completely on the Bback (Dwyer). They're not flowing to the edge full speed like they are now. Notice how Nesbitt attacks the pitch key perfectly and makes him commit. That dude ain't slow playing nobody because he knows if he does, Nesbitt gets an automatic 5 to 6. Notice how Nesbitt makes a perfect pitch in timing and accuracy and Allen has perfect pitch relationship. Notice how Bay Bay gets a perfect seal block to open the edge and how the lead Aback gets just enough of the safety to spring Ant down the sideline untouched.

I was hoping for a return of this style of play with MJ at qb and Mills at Bback. Defenses would have to play us very similarly to how they played us in '09 or they'd be death marched down the field. Now they sell out to stop the pitch because they're not afraid of the dive or the inside qb keeper. They're not afraid of getting beat deep on the pass like in '09, but that has much more to do with the receiver we had back then rather than the qb.

Defenses were in a real catch 22 back then, they were "damned if the do or damned if they don't" with respect to how they attacked us. Now it's just attack the edge and blow up the LOS and as long as you have speedy LB's you beat us.

This is actually something tevin brought to the game as well, he wasn't a threat to house it but if you ignored him he would get 6 yards down the field
