I will be interested in seeing how aggressive Claeys starts the D against TCU. Typically, we start out much softer, keeping everything in front of us, which allows for some early drives with short passes. By the time the 2nd half rolls around and we know what the offense is doing, Claeys tightens the screws and we see more CB's pressing at the line of scrimmage. I would like to see us take some risks early against TCU with blitzes and tight coverage like West Virginia did against them last year. I happened to come across the replay of that game this summer and West Virginia came out extremely aggressive and it almost got them the win at home 30-31. I think the home field advantage will kick in with a fast start. I linked the West Virginia game and if you go to about the 13 minute mark, you see their start on D. I think you have to hit the Youtube mark to watch as it won't let me play on here.
