While the defense played clearly played some inspired football yesterday, I was also struck by how often we seemed to have players at the right place to make stops. That has to be attributed to good schemes, a good game plan and real discipline.
I also noted in the second half that we were playing with only two down linemen and five linebackers. Did anyone notice if that was the lineup throughout the game or was that an adjustment following the injuries to Warner and Mackesey? Either way it seemed to be a great scheme against what Cal Poly was doing.
In any event, I thought that our defensive coaches and the defense are really coming into their own. That could be pretty critical with the forecast for Bozeman calling for temperatures in the 20s at game time next Saturday.
