How easy would it be for the defense to implement more disguises similar to what Oklahoma did? Could it be accomplished in a bye week or just a normal week of preparation, or would it require an off-season or fall camp? One thing I noticed is that Nebraska rarely ever if at all disguises what they're going to do on defense presnap. My guess would be that's another reason why they've gotten ripped apart by RPO/Air Raid offenses the past two games in addition to just not having good enough personnel to run their defense like you elaborated on. Those types of offenses are predicated on quick reads and taking what the defense gives you, so I'd imagine it's much easier to run if you know exactly what the defense is going to give you presnap. Do you think that's something Nebraska needs to implement defensively more often for the rest of the season or are there some significant disadvantages that I might not know of? I would love to know your thoughts. Thanks!
