I suspect that $C won't do so, at least not to the extent SDSU did.
First of all, $C has a long history of playing two deep safeties (as do we).
Secondly, I would suspect that $C believes that they can stand up to us, man on man. SDSU clearly didn't think so.
I just watched a bit of last year's game. $C was playing us mostly straight up, with of course a tendency for the safeties to be looking into the backfield. And that was last year when we had a more suspect QB and pass game.
I suspect we'll see two-deep safeties on standard downs most of the time, perhaps occasionally one of the two often crashing down pre-snap.
