How's that 3-4 defense working for you now CPR?

Unfortunately it's true. Recruiting 2-stars with no other BCS offers doesn't work apparently
Eight guys in back and we park five of them ten yard downfield only to see three TCU guys in endzone being guarded by two clones.
Some plays it was 12-13 yards. Can't say I have ever seen that before in any game.
As much as I'd like to agree with your point, they dominated us in the 2nd half. I'm not of the opinion that we'd do well in the big 10.
Who has time for defense when you have to spend all of your time fighting to keep Smoke on the Water pumping through JTS on gamedays.
Let's not forget they had a QB with a bad knee wearing a big brace whose accuracy dropped significantly when he was scrambling.
Even if you drop on the snap, at least threaten press coverage. The further down field they have to throw it reduces the percentage of completion. Another issue, we do not have defensive backs that can cover for the eight seconds they had to scan the field.
Do you want to die to the big sword(big play) or to a thousand cuts(the underneath routes that turned into big plays).
Please get our back defensive backs within 15 yards of the ball and lets see what happens.

Was the guy with the knee brace the first, second or third string QB? It didn't seem to make a difference.
3-4 is all about scheme. Where is the guy blitzing from this time, where is the coverage rolling to, etc. There was no blitz, there was no masked coverage. You can't run a 3-4 with no pressure. The DBs sitting 10-15 yds off the line of scrimmage was absolutely mind boggling. Press the dang WRs, bring a blitz from any and all directions, mix up your LBs, mix up your D-line, for Gods sake watch some film of a 3-4 that actually does what it's supposed to...create havoc.
