State of the Hogs: Blitz pickup key this week
Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen (8) prepares to take a snap during a game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017, in Arlington, Texas. FAYETTEVILLE — The blitz is coming. The Arkansas offensive players know it and they know it’s time to make some plays.
New Mexico State will blitz from the moment they get off the plane this weekend. It’s something Frank Spaziani defenses have stressed all the way back to his days in the Canadian Football League.
Spaziani is in his second year as defensive coordinator at New Mexico State. With nine returning starters, the Aggies know his system and play it well. They have 12 sacks through four games.
