How big are the linemen in this scheme? How about the linebackers? Anybody know much about the scheme? I remember Auburn doing it under Wayne Hall. Figured I would have better luck posting it here. Seems to me to be very similar to a 3-4.

A five man down front? That's a blast from the past .It's what we ran in high school in the early 80s. (I didn't read the article; I assume it's talking about a traditional 5-2).

It's not a 5 man front from the 80s. It's a variation of a 3-4.


See OP? This is the quality of the discussion you were going to get. Would you prefer to thank me now or later?

Seems strange that the defense has a 5-2 record. I thought that usually applied to the whole team.

Honest question:

How is this 5-2 scheme different from an Attacking 3-4?

I'd expect Kiffen to throw early and get their secondary looking at each other. They aren't an elite passing defense anymore.

Same one gap principles, so any front 7 player can penetrate their gap.

AU actually ran a decent amount of this during the 09 iron bowl iirc. Had some okay success with it. That was a very different offense then what Bama runs now though.

Know this. It's an attacking defense that tends to give inexperienced QB's a bit of trouble.
