Show notes

Defensive schemes are about more than just covering the opposing players. They're also about confusing the opposing quarterback and coaching staff, while keeping things simple enough that your players can execute the plan.
And while mixing different coverage schemes is certainly one way to do it, there are also ways to show different looks within the same basic coverage.
In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Michael Pettit, one of the Xs and Os insiders at BuckeyeInsiders.com, joins host Tom Orr to look at how Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is able to take a Cover 2 scheme and put a very different spin on things.
