![]() I think it's a personnel issue. BAMA runs the 3-4 to almost perfection.
Here is their depth chart https://alabama.rivals.com/cdepthtext.asp 03 308-323 pound NT's 06 265-315 pound DE's 12 215-268 pound LB's (All starters are 250+ pounds) USC depth chart https://southcarolina.rivals.com/cdepthtext.asp I think the issue with USC in the 3-4 is the size of the players. Our NT are good size, but the DE sizes are lacking. Would have to move some of the DT to DE, and then on top of that the LB size is lacking, so would need to move some of the DE to LB. |

![]() The VOLS tried the 3-4 with Sal Sunseri in 2012 and it was an epic fail. Yes, you need the right guys to run the 3-4.

![]() This is exactly the answer, our defense has never looked so small out there. 6 of our starting 11 defensive players are LESS than 215 lbs, and three of the starters are under 200! One being 165lbs (al harris jr). Yes, they are athletic and quick but getting to a larger opposing player doesn't make him any easier to tackle and that disadvantage was clear. There were a few times a player on A&M's team appeared huge on tv while dragging our little guys down the field for y.a.c.

![]() We don't have the personnel to run the 3-4. You essentially need three guys who are traditional defensive tackle sized guys. One of them has to be big and strong enough to play both "a" gaps. We do not have those guys! We MAY have 4 quality linebackers, but, that in and of itself does not lend itself to being able to effectively play in a 3-4 scheme. We may have 3 above average dt's, and several de's, but our ends r not fit for ends in the 3-4. Please go back to the 4-2-5, which is what we have been recruiting for, personnel wise since 2008.

Only difference in a Cover 2 in the 3-4 and 4-3 is the LB's have bigger zones to cover. Same areas of the field, just bigger areas to cover. I personally hate the 3-4. You better have 3 stud DL's or you get no pass rush. USC went to it...because they weren't confident in their DL....and are surprised they didn't get a pass rush???? If your DL isn't that good...then the 3-4 is GUARANTEED to hurt your pass rush. |

The Texans base D is a 3-4, but I guarantee they have an entire chunk of their playbook that has Watt and Clowney at opposite sides in a 4-3. Whether they'll ever use it or not, who knows. I don't think lining up and playing 4-3 would be that hard for USC. Or 4-2-5 like they normally played. Almost all teams can switch. Its not nearly as hard on D as it would be to switch philosophies on offense. Its just a matter of spending most practice reps that week working from that package, and not the 3-4. |

![]() When you watch it back you'll see the LBs weren't on the same page with anyone including themselves. There was on play in the second half where A&M sent a man in motion and 3 of the LBs went to the same spot and just stood there looking at each other. It would have been funny if it wasn't so sad.
