Tech and Tackling

The one reason I don't think ISU will win at Tech:

Lousy tackling.

The key to beating Tech's scheme is for the first guy to make contact with the ball carier or reciever is to bring him down. No getting juked. No broken arm tackles. First contact, man down.

Getting pressure from a four man rush wouldn't hurt anything, either. Scoring TD's while hanging onto the ball would be a good idea, too.

But I keep seeing the tape to Toledo's kickoff return for a TD in my head. Every Cyclone bounced off that guy what seemed like 6 times each.

Tackle. It's that simple. Tackle.
