He doesn't have any time back there to make reads. Ropers made it were he wants Jeff to get the ball out of his hands in 3 seconds. He might get to his second read if hes lucky with our oline. He is getting his arse plastered on damn near every throw. Aaron Murray, AJ McCarron and Mettenberger could not put up great numbers behind our oline. Other then the oline being bad at pass pro my only criticism of this offense is this. Why the hell is Jeff not keeping the ball on these zone reads? They play is there but he keeps handing it off. I don't know if the coaches are telling him this or if they are saving it for Bama or what. They should of let Jeff keep about 10 of those against EMU to get him going with his legs. They probably didn't let him to avoid injuries but you cant play scared. Especially if the option is part of your offense. Losing that Idaho game has really screwed us over as far as building timing and chemistry with the offense. Driskel ran that zone read to perfection in 2012 and its hard for me to believe he lost the ability to read the defense on that play. Sorry for the TL;DR

It's gotta be the coaches, man, Driskel wants to run.
I think it's to preserve him (in fact I'm positive this is the reason), especially when we have so many backs who would love some playing time and so I can't fault them for that.
But we have to do it a little more often to keep the defense guessing, even if he just slides and doesn't fight for yardage.
