[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 192380, member: 2451"] Playing the middle linebacker back 7 or so yards as been a staple of teams playing against the triple option since Jimmie Johnson pioneered the concept at Miami against Oklahoma in a Orange bowl match up way back in the late 70s or 80s. It works great when you have an agile monster middle linebacker who can go sideline to sideline or when the opposing offensive line is putrid (such as is the case with Tech right now) Personally, I think what Foster and the Irish did is more effective by bringing a safety up to shoot the gap and constantly changing the formations. We have no answer to this because the line cannot pass protect for even two seconds. Hit an Aback down the seam or a wide receiver on a post a few times and that nonsense would stop but we can't do it. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
