Can someone please school Grubb on effing hot routes?

Wasn't the slant that was a pick 6 a hot route?

That pick six was a hot route to Horton well thrown

Horton was never reaching that fast ball. It was inaccurate and wide.

He shouldn't have even threw it to Horton as the safety didn't even bother to go backward and immediately stepped forward because he had no fear Ty would throw deep.

The accurate read on that play was Cuevas who crossed the safety's face and had an open field on that right side.


Again, I speak about the film and what actually occurred. If you can refute that, please do

The issue was the missed blocking assignment at RG and RT. OU timed it up perfectly.

Show me a picture with Cuevas open.

Ty should have just ate the sack. Live to fight another down.

There wasn't a missed assignment. It was a missed blocking call on the line. Ty already admitted he didn't see the the blitz pre-snap so didn't set up the blocking.

The RB released on a route because of this

So we had 2 blocking 3 defenders and the inside came through untouched.

Re-watch the play, Cuevas clears the LB and is open for an accurate ball right over the top.

That is the right read.

My point was just the ball shouldn’t have been thrown at all. Still a poor decision by Ty either way.

you are talking out of your arse. Look at the positions of the players when the ball is thrown. Horton is releasing inside and had leverage on the db, if he doesn't get hit and grabbed he catches that running. There was nothing wrong with either the throw or the decision to throw

Sure there wasn’t. It’s not like it ended up in a pick six or something. It’s a bad decision just like the pick that he threw in the end zone

I don't know what to do with this level of stupid

Just my opinion, but the main problem obviously was the whiff on the protection. Another second or two and Cuevas was coming open for a big gain, but Ty just didn’t have the time to wait, the blitzer was already in his face.
Looking at it now, it wasn’t a really bad throw and I think Horton probably would have have been there to make the catch. The db definitely hit and yanked him off his route
You can see below - the ball is just at the 20 and Horton is already wrapped up. To me, the second photo shows (ball at the 19) Horton would have been in position to make the catch it if he wasn’t being mugged. That was clear PI.
It actually looked like that was part of OU’s plan and they got away with it on that play. They basically did the same thing on the end zone interception, but got flagged for it. You can tell it was deliberate by the way the ou coaches and db’s were laughing afterward…like they got caught.

It’s better just not to argue when you can’t make an intelligent point.

We never try more than one or two quick slants a game. It’s a pretty high percentage throw for 7 or 8 yards at least. Even easier why don’t we have some crossing routes that aren’t 20 yards downfield on early downs? We have no running game. I think we can all agree on that. The run game needs to be augmented with a short, high percentage passing game that consists of more than screens of either the WR variety which has been run to death and everyone recognizes them now and that’s a universal truth, not just a Bama thing, and the more conventional variety. It’s almost as if our offensive philosophy does not recognize the space between the LOS and the umpire as a passing zone. And I realize the safeties are cheating up but they will continue to do so until you burn them. Ty has to keep trying the deep ball a few times a game until he hits some.
