re: QB Run Game: Should UK employ?

I do know what a personnel grouping means. I didn’t see a lot of 14. It was mixed in.

Unless you’re saying when they were running 4 wide that all those dudes were tight ends? If so, fine.

I saw some numbers in the twenties out there (and yeah I know tight ends don’t have to have numbers in the 80s, but it’s common), I didn’t go to the trouble of diving into Auburn’s roster.

It means that this thread doesn’t give non UK fans much confidence on UK pulling it off when you’re debating what the QB should do. You’re 5-0. Act like it means be more confident in your product you guys don’t have to debate how to score on UGA.

UGA has held opponents to 3.5 rushing yards per attempt. Even if your QB and RB manage to get 200 on the ground, you’re going to need about 150 in the air. It’s not realistic to expect to rush from 250+ yards bc it happened once. I’m high on Kentucky winning but these threads give me concern on your offense.

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve read on this board today and that’s saying something.

Unless The Architect is Coen, hypothesizing on a message board about potential play calling is just message board talk.

It doesn't seem to be something your OC would do much of. Not saying he wouldn't try it a couple of time given the success, but I'd doubt we'd see it much more than just to keep us thinking.

No question they need to do something to have some success other than just Ray Davis.

There were maybe 3 explosive runs for Auburn.

Those were the tight ends.

If you want to base your awesome analysis on the inside runs from Auburn, they averaged under 2 ypc inside the tackles.
Feel free to copy that shite. But I'm guessing that isn't what you were referencing in the OP.

Well, if you boys have trouble beating blocking TEs, we have some pretty good ones. Thanks for the input.

Did you watch the game?
You don't seem to remember any of it.

The tight ends went untouched for about 10 yards downfield.
The issue wasn't beating tight end blocks.
The issue was missing keys on quarterback counter.

Edit to add:
Freeze knew our defensive alignment and knew our keys and designed a winner. 60 yard qb run.
It only led to a field goal. But that was 1/3 of the Auburn rushing attack on Saturday.
They ran it again on a 4th and short (conversion led to a TD).

So the answer to the original question is “iron out the kinks in the pass game the best that can be done in a week”.

That's where I'm at currently. Maybe we add a few wrinkles, but I don't think we're gonna upend our usual philosophy just for Georgia. We are who we are. Leary and the WRs need to step it up Saturday.

Given what Auburn did to the UGA D, should UK prep a QB run package with Destin Wade or maybe run some wildcat package with Davis and one of the other backs?

I know UGA will be talking run fits all week long, so they'll probably shore that up, but if you were Liam Coen, would you?

OR

Should UK rep that passing game as much as possible and try and clean up whatever the hell the miscues are between the receivers and Leary?

(Leary is not nearly as inaccurate as he has looked... I'm sure that he is expecting the receivers to sit down or change their routes passed on coverage, and they are either not doing it, or he's reading the D wrong. I've seen him drop too many dimes to think he's just that bad. He has floated a few too high, or slightly off target, but even most of his misfires are catchable. The drops... well, that's another thing. I think the bench might help a few guys to catch the ball better)

Any thoughts?
