Monte Kiffin schemes to slow down Florida offense

[MahxFahn]

An interesting piece in the Tennessean on who's prominent in their preparation.

In particular, Kiffin continues to explore ways to counter some of the unique offenses Tennessee's Vols will face this season. Foremost among them is Florida's lethal spread, with Tim Tebow pulling the trigger.
Those who know Kiffin say he has spent considerable time analyzing ways to deal with the divide-and-conquer formation as well as the Gators' across-the-board speed. At UT, it's Job 1.
For all he has accomplished over the past 26 years in the NFL, this is a new test for Kiffin. Just because he developed the Tampa-2 scheme that is all the rage in pro football, that doesn't mean he has an answer for all the questions Florida's offense poses.

(Tony Dungy created the Tampa 2 defense, not Kiffin. Dungy ran that defense as defensive coordinator in Pittsburgh and Minnesota long before he went to Tampa, and continued to run it in Indianapolis with far less talent on defense than Kiffin had in Tampa.)

Thus, all the coaching expertise in the world can carry you only so far. Just because Kiffin can scheme up a way to get an outside linebacker a free shot at Tebow, that doesn't mean Tebow is going down.
In short, if your X's aren't as big and athletic as the other team's O's, you're in for a long afternoon.
