I know you all have a good run defense but will you be able to keep Wofford's option attack in check? Any thoughts??

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
I think that we will send the best set of linebackers they have seen to the field on Saturday, this will be a key to our success.
I am including Clemson in thisComment

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
Wofford can get all the rushing yards that they want...Stats done mean a thing if we have more points.
Keys to the win for the purple will be getting Wofford to play from behind and throw it..
If we can score 24-30 points, we'll win!"Give a cheer Ho, the purple and the gold!!"Comment

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
Whether you will want to admit it or not, Fort is statistically the best LB in FCS. I'm probably not as impressed with Smith as some of the other panther fans, but I will say James Conley is a very unique talent at LB."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
When we played the citadel, one of their linebackers had 20+ tackles. That didn't stop us from beating them up down the field and putting the backups one possession into the third quarter. Now, I'm certain your linebacker is a great one and a lot better than that Citadel player, but one player performing phenomenally doesn't necessarily translate into defensive success. The option is a very confusing offense to defend and in a way it neutralizes any talent discrepancies. Wofford is so successful nowadays because, in terms of the FCS, we're on the same level of talent as 90%+ of the FCS that that neutralizing effect becomes more of an advantage against good teams.Originally posted by Chitown Panther View PostComment

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
I believe thats why best SET of LBs was used instead of just best LB...you see a set implies several

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
Yes it does State, also Young, I don't consider just athletic ability when it comes to Linebacker success, a huge part of being a great linebacker is the ability to read the offense and react to the play and certain formations. I am sure that your offense has certain tendencies as every offense does. Our linebackers will understand these, find the ball and stop it. I am kind of intrigued how our coached might use James this week as he hasn't played a true linebacker position this year playing so many pass heavy teams, he has been more of a linebacker/safety hybrid, of course maybe it is something that we are going to do with our safeties, IDK.Comment

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
That's the thing about the triple option. It pretty much completely takes away the "read the offense" portion of being a great linebacker. That's why it works so well now, because defenses have become "read-and-react" vs just "react". I bet Wofford runs most, if not all, of their plays from the same formation.Originally posted by achrist70 View PostOriginally posted by rockybisonComment

Re: Wofford Rushing Attack
That Wofford rushing attack took down an undefeated Montana Griz team in the first round *in Missoula* 4 years ago. They had no answer for it and couldn't outscore it.What's that shaking you feel in your chest? Oh, that's just 2,000+ in the West Gym saying ssssssssss...BOOM!Comment
