Pry defense x's and o's, if anybody is interested (from a UVa fan)


It's a 43/425 Over front.

Here's a quick urban meyer breakdown:

Very aggressive with the blitz. One of the heavier blitzers in the country:

Currently the 8th best defense in the country (adjusted for SOS):

11th in yards per play:

5th in passing YPA

Interestingly, they have some of the lowest sack numbers in the country:

This indicates that the pressure is more controlled pressure to speed a QB up and be disciplined rather than an all out "get there at all costs" mentality.
