DL - Misi is on the left and Kruger is on the right.
As for Robert Conley, he is our right guard.

OK, so we have...
Beadles-Schlauderaff-Taylor-Conley Hensel
And, we have...
Misi-Shelby-Newman-Kruger
Shelby is listed as a nose tackle. What technique is he responsible for...does that change per play?
Zero, 1, 2, 3 technique...
As to your linebackers, Wright or Fota...which is SAM, which is Will? That's assuming Slyvester is playing MIKE?
DB's? Do you mostly play a cover-2...what does your secondary primarily play in coverage?

technique? Sorry, thats above my pay grade.
Kenape Eliapo will rotate in at DT for significant snaps.
Nai Fotu is out for the year, we lost him last game. In his place is Kepa Gaison.
secondary is mostly man coverage.
Mike Wright is middle LB. As far as who is strong and who is weak LB, I'm embarrased to say I don't know.
Edit* Sylvester Rover, Giason Stud

Thanks.
All the fun jokes aside you guys have been having over on your home forum (and I understand and hold no-ill will) we will be ready to talk some football over here...it's something we have a decent grasp of as a concept.
Technique.
Zero: nose to nose with the center
One: Gap A
Two: nose to nose with a guard
Three: Gap B, or outside leg of the guard.
FWIW, on gaps....
c T b G a C a G b T c
Defense gaps, as the offense sees them, are a bit different...but I digress.
With regards to gaps...
Our front four don't really play any specific gap assignment. They did earlier in the year, but do to injuries the alignments changed significantly. If you watch the TCU and BYU games, you will notice that right before the snap, our defensive line shifts on EVERY play. This was done due to our weight loss up front. As someone said earlier we have to rely on quickness and execution. Therefore, we confuse the blocking schemes at the last moment. this has tended to create open lanes for our linebackers to take on the runner out of the backfield. I haven't watch much SEC football this year, but I think you will find this very different that what you saw most of the year from opposing defenses.
Don't underestimate the effect that this has as in addition to confusing the blocking schemes, it causes the offensive linemen to flinch or jump much more than normal creating an illegal procedure penalty.

TCU was on versus and
BYU was on The MTN. I'm not sure what they have for archive stuff, but CBS owns both of them.
Sorry I don't have more information for you, but I hope that helps.
BTW, TCU complained incessantly about our late second shifts. It really pissed them off as they had at one point 3 false starts in a row.

Re: TCU was on versus and
That's freakin' lame.
If a line knows the snap count, there is no reason a false start should EVER happen. That's all about discipline, concentration, and understanding what your assignment is...
I'd have to go back and look to be sure...but off the top of my head I'd say we've had less than 5 false starts called on us, all year.
With that in consideration...we've seen a few defensive lines.

Re: TCU was on versus and
It will take a bit more than a shift to confuse a line with two first team All-Americans and an all-conference player.
The more I look at and watch the Utah defense, the more I am convinced that they are smoke and mirrors.
Smoke doesn't slow down a rushing attack, and mirrors shatter.

What is Utah's base defense? If you knew this you could pretty much guess what techniques they might line up in.

It's a 4-3 base that uses a NT instead of two DT's so the alignment of the front 4 isn't something you can just pull out and say, "this is it."
When you are looking at individual match-ups, you can't pretty much "guess" what technique a NT is going to line up in...far to many variables.
Heck, the guy they have playing NT is good enough, and quick enough, to line up in a 10, 20 or 30 technique as well if they chose to...
