One thing that has frustrated me the last few years is that for the most part, we don't really seem to confuse the opposing offense very often when we decide to bring pressure. Frankly I was envious of what A&M was able to do with their blitz packages against our front. To my untrained eye it looked like our guys up front were confused multiple times when A&M brought pressure. For the most part that doesn't seem to be the case when we decide to bring some pressure. Which leads me to my question...
Late in the 1st quarter our defense started to really get after the MSU quarterback. And it pretty much continued throughout the game from that point on. It looked to me like MSU was confused at times, and just overwhelmed others; but either way we were pretty effective at causing issues with our pressure. For some of you that are more versed at the X's &O's side of the game....Were we more creative in our blitz packages? Was it because we knew they weren't a threat to run so we were able to pin our ears back more than normal....Or was it a talent gap situation? In other words, did you see anything to make you think we might be able to have a similar level of success going forward?
