The stack (ISU, WVU, and UT) or what Bama does in their nickel?
I'm a fan of the stack against spread teams but I'd worry about it against teams like Stanford. It's why I'm bullish on Chris Klieman at KSU because that defense is basically starting to take over the Big XII. The Nickelbacks are going to have a tough time against those TE's and FB's if Klieman ever gets that thing rolling.
Essentially the same defense we ran against Texas and other schools 2 years ago when Porter went down the first time. From an article about Drake Jackson:
“As of now, Jackson will be playing off the edge, but not in a two-point stance like Porter Gustin. Jackson hinted at USC using more of the 3-3-5 defense that was utilized with senior Christian Rector in place of an injured Gustin.
Rector was used in an odd front as a down lineman instead of as a linebacker rushing off the edge. ”
