Conklin joined the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days” and discussed his defensive system and philosophies.
“When I was at The Citadel, before I came to Tennessee, I kind of got in the process of creating a three-down, 3-4 scheme,” Conklin said. “It is probably more similar to what we are running now. Then I went to a 4-3, that was mandated by the head coach at FIU, that’s what he wanted to be. We had some success there, and then I got picked up by Pat Narduzzi at Pitt. We were a four-down, press quarters, no post coverage.
“Part of the reason I took the head job here at Wofford, to be completely honest with you, was I really wanted to dive into creating a little bit different defenses. We took some concepts from Pat’s system in terms of the run fit, the way he was setting his three-technique and the over-scheme. Then we combined that with three-down, and I felt like that was kind of the direction of offenses were going in terms of being able to defend these spread offenses that you are seeing, the uptempo, score a lot of points, wheel-routes, get you in space. I just felt like three-down, four linebackers, or three linebackers and five DBs, you can just mix and match personnel a whole lot better and be sound in matching numbers. That is kind of what it came down to. Here, our defensive staff along with myself, we sat down and just kind of continued to develop this system and kind of tried to make it our own. It has been really successful for us.”

East Tennessee State vs. Wofford: Odds, betting lines and picks
East Tennessee State (-278) is our pick to win this Southern Conference final, but there’s no value in the chalky odds. PASS and look to the spread for better value.
WOFFORD +6.5 (-115) has been here before, and won’t be intimidated. The Terriers have posted a 3-0 straight up/2-0-1 ATS mark in the SoCon tourney so far, and have one more game to finish off another improbable run to the Big Dance. They finished the regular season losing their final seven games, and they ended 2-6 ATS in the final eight. Yet, here they are.
East Tennessee -6.5 (-106) has been a tremendous team for many years. You might remember Keith ‘Mister’ Jennings from 1987-91. The Buccaneers have been a thorn in plenty of teams’ sides in the past, and one made it to the Elite Eight (1968). This is a proud team who will go dancing, but Wofford won’t go without a fight.
The UNDER 133.5 (-110) cashed in each of the two regular-season battles, and another defensive game should be on tap here. While Wofford hit the Over in the first three SoCon tournament games, this one will go well Under.
