However, I thought USC would have the athleitc LBs to shadow and make these tackles. This was obviously not the case. VY makes it look very effortless. I'm drunk and frustrated. QWho knows.

The problem with using "spies" is that the spy is usually inferior athletically to the guy you're trying to cover, so in the long run you're better off just running your best base scheme against the opposition. That's exactly what Texas defensive coordinator Gene Chizik did against Reggie Bush. He just ran his base defense, with the best possible personnel.
