College offenses are forcing Odd Stack defenses to evolve into four-down structures.
With more multi-TE and condensed formations, 3-3-5 defenses have needed to evolve.
The 4-down, 3-high trend isn't going anywhere.
Against UAB's condensed split-zone RPO, Illinois paired a 4-2-5 alignment with 3-high principles.
Instead of "pulling the chain" when the Will bumps out to secure the perimeter triangle, Bobby Hauck rolls the Middle Safety into the box to replace his fit.
My full film clinic on Hauck’s 4-down/3-high run fit mechanics is only on MatchQuarters:
