Fun piece on Gary Patterson's 4-2-5, 3 safety look at TCU

Fascinating read. Hope roof is taking notes because we could really do well in a scheme like this with our smart ball-hawking secondary and a better line + good linebackers at playing up near the line of scrimmage.

This is no different than what we did in 08-09 with Wommack

as I recall, it's not quite the same. Wommack had a hybrid LB/S position (the abovementioned Wolf, who says "f you guys, I play in the NFL after starring at a FCS team"). Patterson has 3 genuine safeties, two of which are about the same (strong and weak), and the third of which is Free.

On the running plays, the Ole Miss QB is not reading the defense at all. On the dive play TCU stopped for a loss, the pitch was wide open.

Vernacular just different, premise is the same

Did Wommack use the split front/coverage calls like TCU does?

I hope we play them. We'd tear them apart with 3 separate groups doing 3 separate things on the football field.

I wish everyone on our schedule used wolves and organized chaos.
