We put a premirm on keeping it simple <strong>and</strong><br />

having all of our terrninology <strong>and</strong> packages tied<br />

togeth€r. But also realize that .r/lo, you play is<br />

not as important as lro.u you play it. That's what<br />

makes the difference between winning or losing.<br />

We warlt each man in our defensive ftont<br />

to be responsible for €onholling one gap. Each<br />

gap <strong>and</strong> the corresponding techniques that our<br />

front people play are numbered according to the<br />

numbering system made lamous at Alabama by<br />

We want simplicity <strong>and</strong> repetition in everything<br />
