Yep, this is the biggest difference in Malik and Marshall that I’ve seen. Malik wants to be the hero and believes in himself a ton. That’s why last year he was pulling almost every zone read. He’s gotta learn that's not being the hero, it’s just poor decision making.


Malik is still very young and raw. He has very little playing time at QB. Only started playing when he was a senior in HS. He is certainly not Marshall..

The open player on the first try was #47. He was in the right side of the end zone enjoying tea waiting for the play to be over.

It’s silly to not take an almost sure point at that juncture of the game.

Maybe I’m wrong about the situational aspects of the audible.


Again...then you get rid of the swinging gate. Or you call a no audible kick which essentially means lining up in the swinging gate is useless. I am not a fan of the swinging gate, but it is an offensive philosophy to score 2 predicated on defensive alignment

I was glad to see the initial 2pt try. It showed me that gus will be aggressive. I prefer that over conservative gus

Gus said after the game that “the team will be aggressive this year”. Take that for what it’s worth. Honestly though, the 1st 2-point attempt was a great playcall.



Like another poster said, we've faked it 1,000 times and seemingly never go for it. If it had worked, we steal an additional point early in the game against a top opponent on what's expected to be a tight game.

I would just rather we get time running these formations against AppSt type opponents to get the jitters out
