As soon as I heard about the 3-4 move w/ Campbell going to OLB this is immediately the role I thought of...loved watching how they did it and Cushing basically passed rushed every single play though they mixed it up beautifully where they came from. The beauty of the 3-4 is the multitude of blitzes from all angles and w/ different players.

started all of his 2006 sophomore season as a stand-up defensive end in USC's hybrid 3-4 "Elephant" defense. Overall in 2006 while appearing in all 13 games, he had 57 tackles, including a team-best 13.5 for losses of 52 yards (with 4.5 sacks for minus 33 yards), plus a deflection, a forced fumble, a blocked punt that he returned 21 yards (at Washington to set up a USC field goal) and a 42-yard scoring kickoff return of an onside kick (against Notre Dame). He made the 2006 Collegefootballnews.com Sophomore All-American third team, All-Pac-10 second team and Scout.com All-Pac-10 second team. He won USC's John McKay Award (most competitive spirit). He missed some of 2006 spring drills while recuperating from shoulder surgery."
