Nebraska...not feeling Frosty anymore

When Scott Frost gets there you guys are going to have the best 37-point losses ever.

Hopefully he will keep our FCS winning streak alive though.

So what should we be expecting to see from a Brady Hoke defense this weekend? 4-3 Quarters?

[The Oracle]

Guys that he loves, who fight like heck and are Oregon men.

[Wild Hoss]

Sounds daunting.

What are the consensus criticisms of his defenses while in AA?

[WM Wolverine]

He inherited, RRs defenders so it took awhile before we could really evaluate him fairly. His first full class (2012) was very deep but lacking in blue chippers, took till 2014 for most of these guys were ready to play in B1G, others till 2015 which was year 1 of Harbaugh. Dramatic improvement albeit expected from defense post Hoke. Some blame previous staff for slower than expected development from his players (offense and defense); certainly don't truth to that but when you only have 6 or 7 B1G ready players on each side of the ball your offense/defense isn't going to be as effective as hoped...

Tons of players who flashed potential previously really flourished in 2015, IMO expectedly and most give tons of credit to Harbaugh for getting the most out of them.

55 sons. Grilled meat.

I would bet the DL would be his strongest group. He was a DL, and a DL coach. Seemed to recruit better there than at other spots, and there's where unheralded guys would break through -- Glasgow, Henry, etc.

I would also bet that it's gonna be a disorganized mess at a few points.

He may be the cure for ails them then, because DL is considered the weakest unit on their team right now.

Was he an aggressive defense guy? Crowd the LOS etc, or more of a conservative approach with selective blitzing?

[hack]

I don't know that we'd be the best indicator because he gave Mattison a wide berth. Didn't wear a headset, recall. Mattison tended to pick his spots.

[WingsFan]

Since he's been with the Ducks he is wearing a headset. Don't think it will help, im picking N in this one.

His approach was to go clap-clap-clap and shout encouraging colloquialisms at his players.

[hack]

Yeah -- just saying that the headset issue is an indicator of how hands-off he was. Though I still wonder who ordered the CBs right up to the line in his last offseason, during which they also put a guy who never played CB as the first-time position coach. One would like to think Mattison would not be capable of that sort of buffoonery.

I don't think we know what kind of DC he is. He was a shitty HC.

The best DCs are guys that study the game. Make their defenses their own.

I would not call Brady Hoke a student of the game. If he tries to run the Oregon defense like he ran M's football team - delegate - it is going to be a fucking mess.
