Message: [QUOTE="SuperHuski, post: 4739609, member: 12894"] You know sometimes a loss can be more motivating than a win. The WRs had a lot of issues against NC State. After reviewing the GAST game against Rhode Island, I'm thinking the WRs are going to get a chance to feast. GAST plays a pretty simplistic cover 2 defense with no disguise coverages and hardly any blitzes. DBs on the GAST side were constantly letting their man (reminder, RI is a FCS school) beat them. One play by RI, they bunched their WRs together and GAST DBs had no idea who to cover. Another way of putting GAST defense is, they reminded me of UConn's bend-don't-break defense by Diaco. RI had 408 passing yards last week. So I am cautiously optimistic about our offense. I also think our DBs are probably the strongest unit on our defense, so GAST should have a harder time getting their passing game going. With that said, I think the key to stopping GAST is stopping their running game. GAST plays a zone running game similar to ours. Our defense should recognize that from practicing against it all the time. If UConn can stop their dual headed rushing attack, especially #23 (Grainger), it could be a blowout for the good guys.
