So – with all the talk about Slovis’ poor handling of the drop 8 zone coverage at TDS, and expecting that we typically like to go man coverage and stuff the run – what defensive scheme adjustments (if any) do you think Utah will or should make?
My guess is we stick with man unless we get scorched – but my recollection is that Solvis did pretty well against Fresno on short passes with few options. I’d almost expect USC to go back to more of that style of passing (ball out quick, <10 yrd routes, easy QB reads, etc.), which with the talent they have, can be tough to stop even with excellent coverage, especially if Slovis is having an “on” day.
