Pass rush is really irrelevant against it as Jesse Palmer pointed out last night. That's a staple of the Air Raid - they actually want you to blitz because it opens up the field for their quick hitters and WR screens.
Yep, took exactly one half of football for LSU to realize this against Troy a few years ago.
The only way to beat it is to drop in coverage and force mistakes. Helps when you have fast DEs to discourage a scrambling QB and to get sacks if the QB is in the pocket for forever.
Just gotta hope your 4 or 5 in the box can beat their Oline everytime. Or at least assuming they run the ball which they didn't do against LSU last year. We were begging for it too

First, I wouldn't quote Palmer. He is a moron.
Second, isn't this pass rush. Getting pressure with 4 and not needing to blitz. It is possible to rush that offense. Auburn, Missouri and LSU did it last year.
As long as A&M continues to recruit at the level they are currently they will be strong. There is no reason to overstate how strong.
