Very good article on Gary Patterson's defense. But what it has to do with Pitt.... its more information on how the defensive backs read plays. Recommend reading the whole article but check out the Cover 2 section. Yes, it is different than what we run in that we run a cover 4 / quarters but footnote 3 lays out something similar to how our DBs will read plays. This was brought up in another thread and does a better job of explaining it than myself.
