DANG!!!! Texas is looking for a new DC...have you applied?

No... They'll probably just steal Auburn's DC again. Texas got both of their last two from Auburn.

Is it really about stopping Cam or is it about winning the game!

Are all posters on here smart ****? I've posted I think 4 posts on this forum and the only thing I get back is smart ****. This is a waste of my time. take care.

It would be nice to debate ideas and thoughts.

I'd say - cover his receivers, pressure him heavily, and tackle his booty when he tries to scramble.

Maybe if you post something beside how great you think Cam Newton is....

Seriously, he is a great athlete having a great year, but let him pull up his pants and get off your knees, I'm starting to think you have a crush...

LMAO! Tell us how you really feel 84.

Stop the moneytrain for one.

Well, you have to have a secondary capable of effective man coverage so that he has no open receivers. All of the guys in the box have to work together - cannot have a shadow assigned solely to the QB. Get off the blocks and preasure him, pick up the backs/ends who block and release to deny him an outlet, contain him - don't let him get between or behind you, tackle him at the knees. If he's not down, if the whistle hasn't blown, keep hitting him. Gang tackle.

Gotta slow down the no-huddle. Technique is critical here, so pay attention.

Every time there's a tackle and a pileup, an Oregon player needs to untie an Auburn player's shoe. Every time. Try for the QB's shoe if it's in-play.

Ditto for Auburn.


Call it "The Battle of the Shoelaces".

nice.

Go smaller and faster on the ends and put a spy on him. If he can't beat you with his feet Oregon will outscore AU.

Alabama did for a half what no one else has done with consistency...they beat the OL off the block. most, not all, but most of the success bama had was because they were 3 yards deep before cam received the snap. you have to do all the basics of a disciplined defense but it won't work if you're not forcing cam to make a decision before the play even starts to develop.

Best way to beat an offensive juggernaut is to not let them on the field, control time of possession control the game.

good point. might seem like a challenge for Oregon because of the way they sprint down the field but one of the most impressive things i saw this year was the last 9 minutes of the Oregon vs. Cal game. Oregon methodically marched down the field getting first down after first down. They probably could have scored at some point but instead just ran the clock out.
