WTF? They never named a starting QB and had 4 guys competing for it. Pretty sure no one thought true freshman Lamar Jackson was going to be the guy. Also, when is the last time you've seen a Petrino offense running a shotgun zone read every play? How about never, so I'm fairly confident that wasn't in the defensive game planning focus. It's hard to prep for unknown.

Gus said himself ALL week that we were preparing for all 4 qbs. Gus himself should have known Jackson was a runner because like I said we recruited the guy for the better part of a year to play qb / safety.

I would hope our coaches are capable of reading a team and understanding what we need to prepare to play against. If our coaches overlooked the possibility of him playing a zone read (something we're familiar with and recruited him to do for us), then wtf?

I think UL found an offensive identity tonight. They can string up 8-ish wins if they develop to run that zone read effectively.
