Can someone explain/defend the 3-2-6?

I've seen people defend the coaching like some have defended Milroe. What I want to know is why some people think a 3-2-6 defense is a great defense for 3rd and short or goal line?
Because that's what we did last night and throughout the season. Yes I know we moved a guy up at times and it became a 4-2-5 but..can you imagine how tired the 3 down lineman became? Then we blitz a 4.5-4.6 linebacker from 5 or 6 yards back when the receivers have 4.3-4.4 speed and we wonder why other teams have such great success completing passes.

It is a great defense against passing heavy teams…. Last night I can’t defend it

Did our defense do that or did OUs own ineptitude do that? Let's look at a couple facts
Bamas defense didn't make OU punt until the 3rd qtr.
Ou had 68 yards passing.
OU had a receiver drop a wide open sure td not because we had anyone within 15 yards of the guy but by his own butter fingers.
OU had 250 yards rushing.
None of that sounds like a great defense
How can you make a one dimensional running team uncomfortable? You make em pass. What did we do? We attempted to shut down their passing game.

It was definitely a part of the reason we lost.

Teams have figured out you can run the ball.. Want to bet Aubie comes out and tries to run it down our throat? They'd be stupid not to.

Yep. And you know Hugh Freeze takes extra time in practice every week to perfect that Vandy offensive scheme.

Because it's OU...anyone else and it would have been worse. Heck if a receiver doesn't just drop a wide open td the score is worse.
I'm not saying the defense is the only reason we lost. It's one of many reasons. But if you believe 3 dlineman ain't a problem on the goal line or 3rd and 1 idk what to tell you
Bama couldn't get them off the field which leaves less opportunities for the offense.

To be abundantly clear I was livid with the scheme yesterday and explained how we were getting beat due to scheme rather than effort or talent extensively. They had more blockers than we had defenders and their OL was getting to the second level and putting our guys backwards because they had 75 pounds on them.
But everyone understands we were base nickel last year right?
And that Pete Golding loved doing 3 and even two DL looks the last few years (aka Cheetah package).
One substantive difference is that we’re playing one gap and attacking downhill rather than two gap passive (mush rush, etc) like we did under Saban.
But against normal spread or multiple teams the 3-2-6 is fine. You see it in the NFL all the time.
Teams have just figured out that if they run power or option on us Wommack is too stubborn to put an extra DL guy or two in and tries to defend it like he would LSU which is catastrophic because they end up with a numbers and/or size advantage on almost every snap.
