We would be a much better defensive team in a 4-3 scheme! I'm calling for Torbush
Torbush is done. He needs to be fired once the plane lands in Starkville. I shudder to think what Paul Johnson and Houston are going to do to this has-been.
What pisses me off is that Mullen hired this guy who was hanging out at some D-III school in the nether reaches of Tennessee, when he COULD have hired someone that had a clue.
I'm not sure that it's so much the scheme per say, since we did play some 4-3 tonight. It's the fact that we tried to play them like we did Jackson State. When we actually blitzed, which was rare, we were able to get some stops.
But the other thing that really concerns me was the attitude of the defense. There was no swagger. And I can understand that a little bit on their part because I can imagine that it's hard to get up when you're playing zone all night and blitzing four times the entire game. We're asking three- four guys to go after the QB against at least five guys at all times. That's just not going to cut it. Bottom line- we got outhit and looked like a bunch of pussies.
