I don't care if we're 3-3 stack, 4-3, 4-2-5, etc...my biggest issue is that we ran base so damn much and just relied on the talent gap that there was almost nothing new to scheme against for most teams in the later half of the year. We need to be more multiple now in order to keep teams off balance, seeing as how our talent gap on defense vs. most of our opponents' offenses is no longer anywhere near as large.

I think it's more of an implementation issue than an alignment. Everyone's base defense is some sort of nickel yet even when we were getting plowed in the run game vs Tulsa and Bama we didn't bring safety's up into the box. How the front 6 breaks down doesn't really matter to me; if you're not willing to bring 7 and 8 into the box occasionally. You could go 5-1-5 and it doesn't really matter if the back 5 are all staying back. I listened to Joel Klatt on Ryen Rusillo's podcast and he was very critical of Fickell being willing to sit back and die a slow death without making them testing the corners.

Eh. I still liked the defensive gameplan. It was 17-6 in the 4th quarter. It was only a "slow death" because the offense didn't take advantage of the opportunities the defense and special teams gave them. I was much happier with Bama having to sustain long drives running than giving them the opportunity to make big plays and run away quickly.

The idea that this game was lost because UC refused to bring safeties into the box is laughable to me. This game was lost because the offense scored 0 touchdowns in 3 redzone trips, had one chunk play of 20+ yards the entire game, failed to do anything off a key interception and failed to do anything off a long kickoff return. Additionally, we missed out on a potentially huge play with the muffed punt.

This Bama offense showed it can boat race teams in a hurry. After the first drive of the game UC did a pretty damn good job getting enough stops to win the game. It doesn't matter when the offense doesn't do a damn thing.

My biggest problem with the gameplan is not taking shots down the field when it became clear we couldn't sustain a short passing game. UC needed chunk plays to win and didn't even attempt them.
