re: Mathis is going to start

I've seen people excuse that throw for that reason and I know Kirby said it wasnt his fault. I get that the WR was supposed to stop there, but when I watch it, the WR is obviously still running inside before Dwan even begins his throw, so I think even though the WR was wrong it was still a pretty bad throw.

That's where the play was going from the start IMO. A vet goes through his reads if the receiver makes that mistake and sends the ball somewhere else - or just runs.

That's Stetson's biggest advantage. If someone else fails to execute he mitigates with decision making. How confident are coaches that we won't see similar breakdowns?

Although Mathis can mitigate with athleticism, he still needs to be able to decide in the moment when to use that athleticism.
