Stop it.

I don't care if he is the fastest guy on the planet. He sucks on the sweeps. Yes I know he scored on one of them. Rodney Garner could have walked that one in.


Give Jason Smith or Davis or Truitt a chance

Are you implying that Louis missed holes?

I agree. I think one was successful against USCe last year, but that's it.

I'll expand the statement and say we need to stop any play that involves Ricardo getting the ball behind the LoS. They take too long to develop, and end up being drive killers. Next thing we know it's 3rd and long, and then we're punting

I'm more worried about being able to stop other teams sweeps at this point. Almost everytime Louisville ran that play there was nobody even close being able to contain the edge.

I'm really tired of explaining this, but bubble screens and sweeps open up play to the middle because they schematically bias the D towards the outside. These are the plays that allow Barber to carry it ten yards through the line.

Louis may be one of the worst route runners I've ever seen. He also almost runs into the qb every time one those sweeps.

I know the sweeps aren't everyone's favorite, but they know they won't always get Huge gains or positive yards. They are also used to set up other plays later in the game. Not every play in football is designed to be sexy and grand in design.

Coaches are looking for tendencies of defenses and coverages on certain called plays. Then they will run what looks like a sweep and do something completely different.

Louis did fine. It must really suck to have a guy avg 5.2 yds a sweep. Btw he only touched the ball 4 times, and yes scored on one of them. Not too shabby. Stick to recruiting and just be shitty on that subject.
