Listening to Bennings Description of His Interview with Langs


Recommended Posts

Enhance, have you listened to the discussion?

 

And no, installing new packages to defeat certain opponents is fundamentally different than what TO would do or briles now. You may tweak your system for your players, but not for the opponent.

 

Installing a specific package of plays to beat a specific opponent reminds me of what Watson did when trying to beat NU in the early 00s.

 

Yeah, it may work for that opponent but it's not a smart approach overall, because college players don't have the time or experience to perfect the multiple packages required to attack the different teams on a schedule.

This is utterly B.S...Coaches are always doing things to tweak their system based on the opponent they are facing.

I know a lot of coaches try that approach (and it goes beyond "tweaks"), and a lot of them aren't very successful.

i know coaches that when they have far superior players that approach the game and do what they want. when the matchups are more even they have to try to take advantage of matchups.

They may try to do that but it's likely why so few teams do well employing a west coast offense at the college level.

So if a team with a run-centric offense faced a team that had the #1 rush defense in the country, but the #127 pass defense in the country, you would not pass the ball any more than you usually would?

Let me know if and when you identify a defense like that.

Really though, that's hilarious. Last year's Nebraska team is the proof.

 

 

Against our pass defense, teams threw it for 46, 45, 42, 42, 45, 50, 40, 28, 43, 39, 28, 16, and 41 times, respectively.

 

Wisconsin threw it 50 times. Minnesota threw it 40 times.

Still amazes me that Wisconsin did that... I wonder what there record is when throwing over 30?

What are you talking about? Every single coach, including TO, tweaks their system, gameplan, plan of attack, however you want to describe it, to attack an opponent. It may not seem obvious to the average fan, but some plays you run one week may not run the next. Some formations you use one week you may not use the next.

 

Yes, even packages or groups of plays are sometime utilized different weeks instead of others, depending on the opponent. And yes, sometimes, you coordinate certain plays or strategies to beat certain opponents.

 

This is a fundamental truth of football.

Point to a game or season where TO fundamentally changed his pass to run ratio based on the opponent, please. Or even installed an entirely new package of plays for a specific opponent.

Didn't we throw a few new wrinkles at Miami in '94? If not, why does it matter?
