OWH had a nice article on Fisher:

sorry)

Re: So Miss

Looking over their D, which is a 4-2-5, if a 6 man front can stop our
running game, then this will be a very long season. The DTs are decent size
(about 300 pounds) but the DEs are smaller (about 240).  While they are
quick, if our OTs can get pads on them, I expect a lot of success running
off tackle.  Hopefully the coaches are taking some scout team LBs, lining
them up at DE, and giving the OTs practice getting blocks on the smaller
quick guys.

Their defense is designed for a spread offense. It would work well against a
B12 team.  I expect to see a third LB and maybe a S coming up close as well.
That should open the passing. 

Not certain how much zone read or option we will see.  A good power team can
often run a lot of option, but speed can stop the option.
