Pressure on the QB - continue with PSU?

I thought the pressure we were able to put on Murietta was a key to the game last night. Our D missed on a couple of tackles which allowed him to make some big plays (and thankfully he missed on some of those passes).

PSU appears to be much stronger with the run. Do we dare blitzing as much this weekend?

The PSU QB looked great, and without putting the pressure on him, I am worried about our DB's being able to stay in coverage.

This appears to be a tough match up. I hope the crowd and momentum lifts us up.

I doubt we'll see as much blitzing. But, I hope to definitely see it on pass downs and even time to time on inbetweeners.

I actually think that our secondary plays better when they know there isn't that much help in the field. A few of the sacks last night were definitely coverage sacks as Murietta wasn't able to find an open receiver and the pocket eventually broke down.

I'll bet the coaches will continue to work on maintaing outside contain this week as Murietta would have had only one decent rush on us had we kept it.
