Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State I wonder if the “lone safety” 25 yards back that we have utilized so far is actually in preparation for EWU and its very mobile QB. As some have said: the bend but don’t break defense. Barrier got blitzed a lot in the playoffs last season and did not handle it well and EWU lost that game. We have a big D-line and very fast and Mobile LBs, so, yes we give up some big chunks of yardage some times but so what if we eventually stop the offense and they do not score? That lone safety is a big part of that IMHO.
