and I'm not talking about the 3-4 with OLBs moving up to the Line. I'm talking the old TRUE 5-2 we used to see in the 1980s when nobody knew how to spread the field
You can't cover 4 man receiver sets or tackle in space with a 5-2-the speed of the game is too fast these days to have 5 tall and/or bulky guys on the line
Haha, haven't seen a 5-2 since junior high. 4-2-5 is supposed to match-up even better with today's spread offenses than the 4-3. 3-4 is hard to run in college as you have to have just the right type of 3 down lineman and LB's that can rush the passer, stop the run and cover in space, i.e. elite athletes. If we get the right talent I like the 4-2-5, otherwise we need to fold back to a 4-3 to protect ourselves from getting gashed by the run.
