I think you're right, I think it was the 3-5-3. Tigers had the LB's for that back then but then injuries killed them in the playoffs against Westfall.vladimir wrote:smurray wrote:Vladimir brought it up and I was explaining why Westfall was able to run it down the Tigers throat that night.

The 2016 Tiger defense does not have as many linebacker studs as the 2007 squad so losing Harris was a big blow.The Flush wrote:What does the 2007 Waverly defense have to do with the 2010 Waverly defense? Completely different players and different head coach.
Spot on. As both run similar offenses, If Harris isn't playing Friday night, Minford maybe looking to the same game plan as Westfall did back in 2007. Westfall's FB ate Waverly alive and the 2007 team had some great LBs. Also, I think Waverly was running the 3-5-3 defense.
Tigers will make some adjustments to their defense with Harris out, have had a week to make those changes and adjustments.
