If David Shaw's iq is above that of a car, he won't call a pass the rest of the game and wins this game going away.
And he could hire the goodyear blimp to advertise that over the stadium and still wouldn't make a difference.
So much of this is on Lake's insistance on playing defense one way. This prevent base defense shit works against Wazzu, but against the tree you actually need to bring the safeties up in run support, and maybe even mix in some five man fronts. The only adjustment he's made so far is actually playing the nose tackles.
That's a catch
