re: I question Russell's QB I.Q. and I have NO question about the OL's inability to compete..

At this point, 12 has already made up his mind where he is going to throw the ball when he breaks the huddle.

If that receiver is open, then we have success. If not, we have a potential problem.

Just needs more and more snaps in live fire. Two more games and I believe we will see what we have in 12.

You are absolutely correct, and that's what I'm talking about.
There are a number of college players with this problem. As I said, route reads are as much a natural talent as it's a "learned" skill. Even in the pros you see guys with great arms, scrambling ability and excellent Olines having problems finding the "open" receiver.
I'm surprised that so many people around here don't realize that.

Quality bump.

I was thinking this was definitely an over reaction to the second quarter

This post didn't age well.

Is there a single unit that we would swap for with them? QB a push, otherwise, no. I see us shutting down their traditional run game and slowly squeezing the QB with the pass rush. Our rb’s will wear them down in the second half. 34-23 good guys. No drama this week.[/quote]

I undersold our offense.

BREAKING!! 19 year old needed a little time to gather the nuance of playing the hardest position in sports.
