The things he was hearing about our 3-4 is just simply not true. At it's simplest form, the nose in the 3-4 is a space eater. But Pruitt doesn't run 3-4 in the traditional sense. We've got 4 down linemen almost half the time. Pruitt would use him like he used Timmy Jernigan at FSU. He was a little more than a space eater if I recall correctly...

I was referring more to why Bama seems to have slipped for him, but Bama has been doing more of what Pruitt does with 4 down linemen lately it seems as well. Spin it how you want, but the only SEC school where he is guaranteed to be at a traditional 4-3 DT position on the vast majority of downs is Auburn as of now. As you said, UGA runs 4 down linemen about half the time and with LSU's upcoming change to a multiple D. Michigan runs a true 4-3 as well as far as I know.

But lets not pretend these kids choose the perfect scheme fit every time, I just heard that he was more interested in playing in a true 4-3 if possible.
