Texas Defense: Kwiatkowski's Extremely Multiple, Attacking Style

This is Part Three of my Baylor-UT preview covering the Longhorn defensive scheme and personnel. Part One covered the offense and Part Two covered stats.

The Longhorn Defense

Pete Kwiatkowski is UT’s Defensive Coordinator after success at Washington and Boise State during the last decade. Texas tends to operate in a nickel package and runs what could be described as a 2-4-5 scheme with 2 DL, 4 LB, and 5 DBs as its base.
