That’s the only word I can think of in describing how I felt while watching defensive coordinator DJ Eliot on Saturday night. In between tweeting game updates, it became noticeable that the Wildcats’ defensive scheme and substitution pattern had a new look and increased sense of urgency. It took three repetitions of watching the game to fully comprehend Eliot’s intent and just how well it was executed.
FILM NOTES
— Dependent upon down-distance and field location, UK varied both its personnel and scheme before every play. That level of defensive diversity required detailed preparation.
