I did notice Yazdi "on the field" a lot in a weird way at the FF Bowl. It seems that after a change of possession, he would go onto the field, hop around a lot, then run off the field before the first play started. Looked very weird to me.

Don't know if that happened during the season, as I cannot make it to many games.

What you saw with Yazdi is the typical substitution pattern for our nickel defense. We will send 12 men out on the field on defense after a change of possession. If the opponent comes out with 2 wide receivers, we stay in the base defense and the 5th defensive back comes off the field. If the opponent comes out with 3 wide receivers, we go to the nickel defense and the nose tackle comes off the field.

The jumping around probably had something to do with how cold it was . . .
