Hey Broncos, this dawg fan comes in peace and has a question.

[Lurker Above]

Does Boisey State have much experience paying against 3-4 defenses? Is the 3-4 a concern? (Of course, the bigger question probably is whether UGA can execute the 3-4 better this year, but that is another topic.)

Quick answer is no, its not something BSU faces all that often. None of the WAC teams ran a 3-4 as I recall. I think TCU plays a 3-3-5, but that's not quite the same thing although the stunt/coverage packages will probably have some overlap with a 3-4.

But the BSU defense is very dynamic and does play some 3 man fronts, and McClellin is basically a DE/LB hybrid who stands up and drops into coverage a lot, which makes our base 4-2-5 more of a 3-3 or 3-4 in many cases. Point is, our guys might not see much of it in game-time situations, but it will hardly be foreign to them or the coaches.
