Quinn's poor awareness in the pocket and inability to scan the field is the biggest issue right now. Sark can artificially make Quinn take shallower routes, but you are supposed to read deep to shallow and Quinn just takes forever to come off his receivers.
Not a fan of much of the playcalling, but Quinn needs to scan the field better.
You can't go broke making a profit, they are giving us the short and intermediate routes. We need to eat those until they shift.
That's a legit call. He already had leverage on him, fucking crazy that we aren't playing within ourselves. Blue and Worthy aren't letting their blockers do their thing, Baxter is waiting for blockers who completely ignore potential tacklers. Crazy.
BYU shouldn't be letting this guy sit back and make decisions. Give him a one read and run look. If both look bad, throw it away. This guy is horrible.
Can't believe they didn't call the TD play. BYU actually sucks in short yardage, so I get the idea. But that QB made a horrible decision, and they probably should have just tried the run first.
Gabriel out with a concussion and they're tied at BYU. This one gets a little interesting, but Arnold is more than good enough to handle BYU. Especially without them prepping for him.
Early on, yes. Opposing DC's have figured it and it hasn't worked the last two tries.
I've watched a few of their games. Gabriel (OU) scored with a designed QB run in the redzone, Neal (KU) also got a TD off a wildcat play in the redzone.
I'm talking about ISU's ability to stop the concept, not our ability to run the shit we do with Red.
I still believe we would be better off spreading people out and running if the opportunity is there. The heavy shit isn't working.
Blue is like 5'9ish and sub 200 lb. They're being generous with his listing. He's got great burst, has really good hands, and runs really good routes. I would love to see them hunt matchups with him.
Cooper got the majority of his (5) picks against bad competition. He's solid though.
Tampa is alright, but he's probably the best in their secondary. Myles Purchase is very grabby, he has a hard time staying attached if he doesn't hold.
Neither guy can handle Worthy, I doubt either guy can handle Mitchell either. We had Jaydon Blue running some route last week, let him get matched up on a linebacker.
We just gotta keep Becht under pressure while mixing up coverages behind that. ISU goes slowly and they run more pro-style concepts. Our defense should be fine getting lined up against them, we'll see how they defend the quick game.
On offense, I think throwing the ball is actually the key to victory here. They are not good at getting pressure at all, so make their secondary cover our NFL WRs for 3+ seconds and multiple guys should be able to get open. Running the ball should be used more as they drop back even further in coverage. Hopefully we don't try to run into their psuedo-light boxes all night.
If we spread them out and have Baxter or Blue as the back, they are both capable pass catchers. Baxter would be able to work against a lighter box as well.
Not sure why Sark is so enamored with the heavier sets. Too many of our guys aren't consistently physical enough. Let the big guys wall off potential tacklers instead of trying to drive them back so much.
