Assuming their QB reads and executes every play correctly, he is 100% correct that there is no real tactical solution.

Now ... that assumption is usually a bad one at the college level. That's why pressuring the QB as often as possible is a great idea at this level. You can pretty much count on college QB's getting rattled with a few hits and pressure on nearly every play.

That's the only thing I can think of. Get the QB out of the comfort zone. You're not playing against Tom Brady here.

All very fair points. Honestly, the defensive brute force approach in the RPO style of game is to put more defensive speed on the field than the offense. Even then, the defense WILL give up explosive plays if the offense does their job. And if they have a player like Watson... you just might be in trouble.
