The Owls are now 0-2 and next face Buffalo at home which should land the team’s first victory if they play as hard and well as they did against Miami in the first half. The day after the game was full of meetings and reporting to our supervisors on how the recruiting process went as well as game day assignments. I learned some questions to ask and ways we can gauge interest based on certain answers. We all are allowed to place any suggestions on how we can improve as a unit outside of the football team. Upon the completion of the meeting, I took the liberty to break down the Miami game and also help prepare the team and coaches for the game against Buffalo. Film breakdown can take a long time but it also depends what portions are being broken down. I broke down the whole game which can take quite some time but other coaches just break down their side of the ball (offense/defense/special teams). I did learn some new things to look for such as tendencies of coverages and reading the safety more because they tend to give away the defense if it is not already known. I learned more about the 4-3 defense in combination with secondary coverage. I knew most of it but did learn the “Over and Under” aspects as well as a better understanding of gap alignments. The 4-3 front is a “one-gap” scheme and sometimes a “two-gap” technique. Each defender in the front is responsible for a gap versus the run game. These gaps are identified by letters (A,B,C, etc.). When the offense breaks the huddle and lines up, the defensive will then “set” the front with a “closed” call to the tight end side. This is just a small set of information but there is a lot more to go in depth. Once I finished the film, I helped sort the papers that are sent to compliance and ticketing along with sorting out which recruits attended the game. We created a list for future use because those are subjects that can be used in writing letters to commits or recruits. We did not have a large showing which was not a surprise since the game was on a Friday night.
