It can also work against very good QBs. ISU beat Heisman contenders with it. What made it so lethal for ISU in the Big 12 initially was the coordinators in the league. The spread offenses in the league were so wrapped up in having to have the big plays that they couldn't just be patient and give what the defense was giving them. They had to feed their egos and go after the big plays. Eventually they figured out that you can be patient and take the 5 yard out, 4 yard crossing pattern and 3 yard rush and move the ball right down the field. When you start trying to force it into that 8 man cloud you end up making big mistakes.Rush 3, Drop 8.....LOL. Waiting for Herbstreit to get an ISU jab in....you know he want to. It can work for Clemson against Wake Forest....but not today. The talent and quarterback deficit has to be appropriate for that gimmick defense to work.
Good points....and the three man rush we had (miss you Lima already) could disrupt against the relative talent we were against most games for a couple years there. the third and longs are still just too hard to accept and that is the down we/Clemson/anyone will cease running it.It can also work against very good QBs.

Here's a crazy thought. How about the first playoff game at noon. The College Natty at 3:30 and the NFL nightcap at 7?? I would get drunk and enjoy. Anyone else?
Always been my favorite SEC team.I want a reason to not like LSU but I just can’t come up with one. They’re just ******* good.
OBJ is on the field handing out $100 bills to LSU players after the game. The SEC is just different.

Yeah but we can't pay players officially because that would ruin college sports.... Sure.
