Re-read the herald piece again and this particular statement jumped out at me by Golden:
Confronted by Orlando Alzugaray on WQAM last month (in an awkward moment), Golden defended an alignment when Alzugaray showed him a screen shot of a 2014 play in which five defenders were well into the end zone when Georgia Tech had the ball on UM’s 1-yard line. Tech scored on the play.
Here’s how Golden responded to Alzugaray questioning him: “Do you understand what’s going on here? I’ll help you here. As they run the option, he’s going to dive into the line of scrimmage. [The linebacker] is going to meet him, so he’s a free hitter. He has no other responsibility but to tackle the dive. On the snap, he’s roaring. But he needs action before he can roar; otherwise he’s roaring to nowhere. “This guy [another UM defender] depending on which way he goes, is going to fill the D gap. [Another] will fill outside on the pitch. [Another] guy will lock down. It’s based on rotation…. You should watch all the teams that play them.
“We stopped them on 4th and 1 two years ago to win it using the same thing."
Hmmm. Maybe we should compare.
Go to the 34:20 mark.
Looks like the LBs and DBs are crowding the line to me. There's a shift and a few guys take a step back, but pretty much right there on the line.
cut to the 2014 game, specifically the 19:43 mark:
3rd and goal from the 1. Where is Denzel? 5-6 yards back.
So...Is it the same thing, Al?
