It'll work itself out, you could say that game was somewhat like an NFL preseason game.
I agree, that's why it's nice to have the non-conference games at the beginning of the schedule instead of at the end (hence Iowa).
Contain came to mind, and there were times we did, but they seemed to chop block all the time, thus allowing them to still get outside. Plus I will hand it to the guy, both those guys had quick feet. The QB juked like crazy, and the RB just kept spinning.
I like the idea of sneaking up the Safties, but they did burn us a couple times long, just completeing those were a different story. My thought was this:
Play man to man as mentioned above, but spread out the LBs to cover outside. Then bring the safties up to help with the middle. Just what I do in the video games.
