Interesting article with NU mention

[EvanstonCat]

I thought this article was interesting - wonder if someone like gocatsgo can speak to whether this is already in our arsenal and if not whether we shouldn't be using it with personnel like Jackson and with our run blocking seemingly solid this year.

Loved the mention of NU in the last paragraph.

Mike Patrick made mention of NU running something that looked like the old "Counter Tre" in the fourth quarter of the SU game.......

We ran multiple counters against Stanford.

Despite the OL coming out and playing pretty physically against Stanford, I don't think we have the personnel to consistently be a power running team. A zone-based scheme plays much more to the strengths of both Jackson and our OL. We saw last year what can happen when we tried to force a power scheme without the right personnel.

Agree. With 4 OL on the injured report, we may not be able to do the things we did last week. Hopefully, Fitz is being xtra conservative in holding players out this week.
