As we all know Driskel went 31/45 in the passing game. Here is a breakdown of where those 45 passes were targeted on the field.
Intermediate: 18
Screens: 11
Flats/Underneath routes: 9
Deep Pass: 6
Throwaway: 1
Percentage wise that is.
Intermediate: 40%
Screens: 24%
Flats/Underneath routes: 20%
Deep Pass: 13%
If it wasn't for the throwaway, Driskels completion percentage would of been 70.4%.
Kinda tired of people saying we did nothing but throw screens all day.

I'm tired because it's obviously wrong -- but even more...we still got 600 yards of offense.
If we can do that by throwing screens all day, so be it.
Whatever works is what's important.

The WRs also had a few drops. The good news is that JD only threw one or two (OK, maybe three) bad passes. None of them hurt us obviously.
Those that complain about screens just need something to complain about. The fact is the short passing game was necessary because of the positioning of the DBs. There were 10-12 yards off the ball every dog gone play. The WR read that and adjust their routes and the QB takes what's there. It's not really rocket science but alas some folks still moan and groan.

What do you define as intermediate?
I thought Driskel did fairly well, but a 5ish yard yards/attempt isn't super great. Honestly, shocked we threw it 45 times.
