The "2016 UTSA Tite Front Defense" by Pete Golding is a comprehensive playbook that showcases a sophisticated defensive strategy employed at the University of Texas at San Antonio. This defense was built around a Tite front, essentially a 3-3-5 alignment where the outside linebackers or 'tite' ends play closer to the line of scrimmage, enhancing both the run defense and pass rush. This setup allowed for a versatile and aggressive approach that could adapt to different offensive schemes. Under Golding's coordination in 2016, UTSA's defense made remarkable progress, setting school records in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, and quarterback hurries. This defensive system was instrumental in leading UTSA to their inaugural bowl game, the 2016 Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Key players like linebacker Josiah Tauaefa, who earned Freshman All-American honors, and defensive end Marcus Davenport, significantly bolstered this defense's effectiveness. Golding's philosophy was centered around speed, intelligence, and physicality, which translated into a defense that could adjust on the fly, execute multiple defensive packages, and disrupt opposing offenses. This playbook not only marked a significant achievement for UTSA but also highlighted Golding's coaching prowess, setting the stage for his future roles at high-profile programs. This playbook is a treasure trove for coaches looking to implement or understand a robust, adaptable defensive scheme that can elevate team performance.
