3-3-5 North, 3-3-5 South

Submitted by elhead on

I am watching ball this afternoon and have seen both Michigan State and Auburn use 3-3-5 D at one point or another against their opponents. Not all of the time. Nor do I claim that anyone on either team declares himself a disciple of anything. Just taking note, and wondering what all the damned ruckus is about on the part of some of our fan base about said defensive scheme.

To me a 3-3-5 is a spread defense.  I get a spread offense, but a spread defense?  Not buying it.

I don't buy the scheme or system whoever uses it.  Coaches married to a system are stupid.  Heard it said before, "we don't want that 320lb offensive lineman because he doesn't fit our scheme".  Well fine, but just get used to him lining up against you at Iowa, Tenn, or Bama, cause he's gonna be kickin your butt for the next 4 years.

3-3-5 in the south is much much faster, their DLs are as quick as our CBs.  They are also stronger as it has been proven that the abundance of yellow sun makes SEC players faster than other BCS players. They could run a 1-1-9 and still stop any rushing offense from the non-SEC schools.
