I didn't mean Rocker would be calling plays, but it seems like they wouldn't have hired Rocker if they didn't plan to use the DL formation he most recently had success with in college football. Just me speculating though


ETA: And that's what UGA might be selling Williams on

I definitely understand the personnel argument, and Richt doesn't have four years to allow Pruitt to slowly fix that defense. But, UGA is in a hurry to be more multiple up front after last year and with more SEC teams operating spread offenses, UGA is going to need a faster defense to compete. Pruitt knows it, too.


you may be right... UGA ran more base 3-4 than anyone in the league last year, it seemed. Even bama, who bases out of the 3-4, had four down linemen on the field most downs.

I just don't see them having the DEs to run it right now, but I could be wrong... it's definitely not someone like Andrew Williams, who will need at least a year or two to adjust to the level of competition.

Obviously, once he told his high school that he's picking UGA, they decided to throw a ceremony at 2PM.

Even more obvious is that once he told his high school he was picking AU, the decided to move the ceremony to 2PM so he wouldn't have to deal with schoolmates the rest of the day.

“I’m 100 percent now,” he said. “I’m not going to say I wasn’t feeling Alabama, because I was, but this is my dream school. I’m pretty much Auburn now. War Eagle.”

I'll agree to that. Sucks UGA made such an impression on A. Williams.


Trust them, they're NOT gonna run the 3-4.

Pruitt comes from the Saban-tree and the LB coach Pruitt hired comes from the Saban-tree.

BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA RUN THE 3-4 FO' REALZ GUYZ!

He ran a lot of 4-3 along with the 3-4 at FSU. Really wouldn't surprise me to see them switch.

Outside of Rocker, he's bringing in guys that run the 3-4.

And Rocker was looking for employment, so its not as if he was being picky about the defense that was being implemented.
