In order to gain some perspective from behind enemy lines for this weekend, we talked to Jay Burrous from Viva the Matadors.
1. Without a doubt, the 2018 Red Raider defense is the best Tech defense we’ve seen in a very long time, and is currently leading the conference in defensive scoring (albeit having already played Kansas and TCU and not the top offenses in the conference). What’s been the key to this season’s turnaround?
I’d attribute a lot of the success to depth, and continuity in the coaching staff. We’ll rotate 20-22 guys on defense each game, which is a far-cry from the days when we legit only played 11 guys.
