Thanks for the thorough analysis. I don't recall exactly but I think we bottled up Borghi pretty well last season. I guess the question for me is the degree of difference between the run and shoot and the Air raid of Mike Leach. Our scheme against the WSU Air raid was highly effective, but that was dialed up by Alexander, not Yates. Like you say, probably the best approach will be a strong pass rush with blitz packages, resulting in errant throws that can be picked off by our D.

While I know this is a WSU preview, I just want to take this opportunity to state how little I care for Olaijah Griffin and his antics.
Shoutout to Vic Wharton III for this happy memory:

Cougin' It... a preview of all the ways everything can go wrong.
