*this is from spring seems like.....a few might have changed

DEFENSIVE system changes....

Here's a few defensive system changes
  *most teams run multiple stuff now anyway...even if the system is the same....a change in terminology/philosphy can also
be as difficult > players maybe still 'thinking' still well into the season

Air Force      3-4 > multiple / 5-2
Army           4-3 > 3-4
Conn           4-3 > 3-4 / multiple
Ga Tech        4-3 > 4-2-5
Hawaii         4-3 > 3-4
Indiana        4-3 > 3-4/multiple
Louisville     4-3 > 3-4
Mass           4-3 > 3-4
NDame          3-4 > 4-3/multiple
NCST           4-3 > 4-2-5
NMSU           3-4 > 4-3
SDSU           3-4 > 4-3
SMiss          4-2-5 > 4-3
SJSU           3-4 > 4-3
Tx St          3-3-5 > 4-2-5
UCLA           3-4 > 4-2-5 / 3-4 multiple
Vandy          4-3 > 3-4
Wake           3-4 > 4-2-5
WYO            3-4 > 4-3

*some of these are very minor
*the longer one system in place > tougher to change
*don't forget OFFENSIVE changes affecting the D...switching pro-style to spread / hurry-up?....now your D gets much less rest       
 
a few OFFENSIVE changes

BGreen     > up tempo
Fla           (more) up tempo?
Ga South   triple opt > spread opt
Kansas     pro > spread (run)
Mass       spread > pro
TCU        more up tempo
Wyo        spread > pro (west coast) 

Thanks for sharing 

and I thought I looked at a lot of websites, outstanding work as usual.....also can pick up some info, morale, camp reports, etc. reading the team sites and local articles using google - have a profitable weekend bookie

Outstanding work, thanks BA

BA, Nice Work. Thank You for the effort you make to keep
        members of this forum informed.


BA 

Awesome!

GL bookie, thanks for all your work.

Love your threads, man...thanks for your time. Have a great weekend

This is a ridiculous amount of valuable information... no idea how (or why) you do it, but hats off!

Two freebies for your trouble... not that you are unaware:

WOW!!!  Thanks for all the effort you put into your fabulous and informative posts.  You are a font of information, a real treasure.

Great info

Thanks for the time you put into this very helpful with a ton of info BOL Assassin 

Quality info from a quality guy..... You da man

great info thanks

this may be the most informational thread ever. Thanks for the time you put in my man. BOL this year 

Good info...BOL this season

thanks boys.............

left off (since they just played?) > dumb.......2 big offensive changes

How'd that Vandy O look?.....going from spread type to pro-style?
  *D not much better....4-3  >>  Stanford 3-4
  *Temple tho with more talent than what I thought

Ditto Wake ...option type >> multiple
  *D 3-5  >> 4-2-5 a significant move as well


recall that coaches do not have to disclose injuries (OK to lie).....
 *so keep that in mind......I think most thought S Caro RB Davis was healthy........good luck finding out if App St RB Cox will be able to go.....he was out several games not long ago......now POOF!.....he's OK.....he doesn't play their shot at a cover is SLIM
