Thanks Bo Pelini for coaching our guys to stick their thumbs up their asses and scream for momma whenever receivers run rub-routes to switch defenders.

---

I read somewhere before our game that Pelini had basically scrapped all coverage options except for straight up man to man because of all the busts and he didn't trust the back 7 to do anything else.

He did that weeks before we played you guys. And yes it's true. And when we'd put Stingley on Devonta you guys would switch up routes, rub rubs, etc. and Pelini didn't know how to coach our DBs to adjust.

Stingley was begging our coaches on the sideline to do something about it.

Tyson Campbell as a first round pick

Campbell played opposite a lockdown corner(Baker, Stokes) his entire career and his stats have reflected that

I remember when he came out with Surtain he was the more raw athlete of the two - has he just not turned that raw athleticism into CB skill?

He's really good if he doesn't have to actually do anything but run straight.

Cox can legit cover WRs straight up

Would love to have him 1 more year

---

Yea - easy to see why people were high on him as a NFL guy. He does need to get a little better in the box, but he's so good at coverage that he could easily be a big safety who is used to cover split out TEs or slot guys.

---

Ole Miss with only 3 defenders in the worst lists and even got 1 in the best lists. That's a victory

---

It's possible that on a lot of the Ole Miss plays nobody was "assigned" to coverage since there wasn't an identifiable player close enough to the WR

He hasn't had the horses in the trenches for his 4-3 scheme. That last two recruiting classes have addressed that somewhat. I'm willing to give him another year and then let the chips fall where they may.
