[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 408019, member: 3094"] Alabama's 3-4 is the closest you get to a pro style attacking 3-4 with a two gap nose , man up coverage and man blitz schemes. Its a simple defense that takes a base set of personnel and has them play fast and loose using their athleticism. A true read/react defense is just as much focused on the presnap as the post. Look at the Groh defense. or any roof defense. The focuses is on reading the play pre snap then reacting to it based on formation. It uses a lot of zone coverage to read the QB and react to his eyes instead of the man. What you are meaning to say is there aren't a lot of ZONE blitz attacking 3-4's in college and in that you are right. Running those types of defenses combines the hard mode of pre snap diagnosis from the read/react defense and the risk of a blitz heavy defense. They just flat out don't work in college because of the time it takes for a coach to relay things in the game. An example of this defense is the Raven's defense under lewis, the check counter check gameplay he would call on the field it wasn't about getting into a blitz then reading the zone. It was about getting into the right blitz based on personnel and down and distance + opponent tendencies. [/QUOTE]
