Chekwa's interception in the SC game sure was a thing of beauty. D. Wash, good luck in getting your job back this year. Not gonna happen. |
Taos, do you have any clue about how much man coverage we have been playing this year?
I understand the "soft zone" argument is a staple of fan complaints, but you are way off base.

But, we won't be playing USC every week.
Is "man" a better scheme against spread teams?

Depends on the type of spread and who's running it.

I don't have a big screen tv like you so the players look like ants running across a picnic table!

One touchdown was the FB man on Freeman, with a perfect throw, great cathc, and remarkable balancing act. The second was man on the TE where someone (tip of the tounge phenomena), where the DB fell down, so the outcome may have been different if he kept his feet, but he didn't. The other TD catch i can remember was the last one and it was zone. Who else scored? Was it Williams from Arkansas? I think I remeber that being man, with USC getting to the corner first.
Either way the coverage didn't work, man or zone.
