The focus is on preparing for Tennessee's physical rushing attack, which utilizes heavy personnel and an elite running back.
You've all done, you've been pretty salty defending the run.
What have you all done well,
and how does maybe this Tennessee rushing attack differ
than what you've maybe seen up to this point?
I think our D-line and our linebackers are playing well.
Our safety is like the tackle, so that's been
definitely good. I think we've had good plans against
the run. We've obviously
struggled against running quarterbacks in spots, and specifically QB
scrambles. I think good rush defenses play
gap sound. They have gap integrity,
and then you have to be able to tackle the ball
carrier. Tennessee poses a lot of threats. They play in
12 personnel. They use tight ends in their run game. They have really
Excuse me, big offensive lineman that can move the point of attack.
And then they hand it off to an elite back.
I mean, this 18 is the real deal.
So, um...
And then I think how they formation you gives you some issues.
But, you know, I like our plan that we have right now.
And now it's just about going out and executing it.
