Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I know UGA plays a "3-4" on defense, but it usually looks like a 4-3, to me.  I often watch the QB and linemen point to someone on the D, but often as not, the defensive alignment looks exactly the same as every other play, to me.  I know the OL is calling out blocking responsibilities, OK, and maybe the QB is doing the same, perhaps to the RB if it's a pass, I don't know for sure.  Then we see audibles called, and I don't know what sparked that in the main. 

Of course at times the LBs are crowding the line and in a different position, but then they drop back, or a DE drops back.  On some plays I can see just before the snap a blitz is coming of course.  I usually can't see that 4 seconds presnap though.

It would be fun to have them miked up, to see who is calling what. 

My GUESS is the center is a critically important position for the OL to do well.  Miss one blocking assignment and play is blown up.

A lot of that would make more sense with end zone shots, so you could see the alignment well.

I’d delve into 4-3 vs 3-4, but the meaning is so variable now. UW is a 2-4-5 most of the time, with a nominal3-4 base.

Stoops coming out of retirement?

A question I continue to have is how different various defenses really are as to scheme.  I appreciate the comment that an end zone view might well show larger differences.

I sort of wish for a more analytical sports show that would illustrate all this for folks like me.

Legend has it Bear Bryant and Bum Phillips met by chance at a dive bar in the Florida panhandle and commiserated over how hard it was to position defensive players correctly. Over a handle of Jim Beam they developed the technique positioning that has been employed ever since.  Simply put a player directly across from the center was the 0 tech.  A player between the center and guard was a 1 tech, a player directly across the guard was the 2 tech and so on.

Warren Sapp was one of the best 3 techs (between guard and tackle) ever and became an average at best guy after he signed with the Raiders and they employed him as a 0 tech.  Don't know of that helps anyone but when you see the Dawgs entire dline shift, it changes their tech angles and requires the oline to reposition if they haven't practiced for it

This has the tech system laid out much better than I could have.

I'm surprised more DLines don't shift before the snap.  UGA got a fair number of procedure penalties, and I'd bet that screws up blocking assignments.

Anybody else spot a team ranked lower than say 20 who could end up NY6 or playoff?

I got UCLA.  (That means they may well burn down of course.)
