The West Virginia Mountaineers are going to give the Miami Hurricanes a look on defense they haven’t seen all year. WVU runs a 3-3-5 that Tony Gibson was around Morgantown to install with Jeff Casteel back when Rich Rodriguez was head coach. The 3-3-5 has been written about for years, and hell, it’s even a staple up here in Oregon high schools where I’m coaching now. It’s from Joe Lee Dunn an eccentric defensive back loving defensive coordinator that after years of coaching D1 around the south is now at a D2 in Texas.
I think the 3-3-5 would be more difficult to adjust to going week to week but with 3 weeks to prepare Miami should be able to adjust.
