West Virginia's decision to play the 3-3-5 over the last two decades was heavily influenced by concerns that we weren't able to recruit enough guys to fill out a 4-man front. Despite that, we've still had some very solid individuals and units over the years, but by design they were mostly role players whose job was to occupy blockers while our linebackers and safeties made plays. It wasn't much, but it was honest work. That all changes this year with the transition to Vic Koenning's 4-2-5.
First, a quick chalk talk session to clarify how Koenning's defensive fronts generally align themselves.
