It's also unreal we have an experienced oline, and as experienced a QB as you can get yet we don't run tempo unless absolute must. We let the D take their time and set up vs whatever obvious tell parker is going to create. Please use our experience to our advantage, please.
Or when we do have a huge play, we never capitalize when the defense is on its heels. Ball control offense is a good idea, until you can't convert ever on 3rd down and have to give up the damn ball.
We had a 3rd and about 2 inches on a play vs louisville and hartman wanted to just run a sneak, but there was a crap ton of window dressing for a 3 inch sneak, and then fisher false started, parker calls a jet sweet for no reason, and ND punts. Little simple stuff like that is how you lose games, we all know it because it doesn't happen once in a game or once every so often, it happens multiple times per game. It's why our offense is still getting yards "ok" but not getting points. The talent is there, the coaching isn't.
I always felt there was going to be a letdown after OSU. The middle of the line is a weakness, but they have shown they can play with physicality like they did against OSU. This is more about play calling and making it easier for the line. Let's hope Parker turns to page 2 of the playbook this week.
I agree with you on Ohio State not being as good as say even last year. It's why this year was set up to make a really good run and have a national championship chance.
Cheesy. Something I could see Parker doing to save face and look creative.
He’s a Cali guy
I like AZ's OC who has also been Run Game Coordinator.
Looks like the threat of the QB running helped open up the run game as well.
He's Pete Carroll's son. Was with Al Golden at Miami too.
Agree I think Love is gonna be a first round draft pick in 2 years you mise well get as many carries out of him he has 1200 yard potential next year. But they need to get Price more involved too
But they can't replicate the chilly weather, can they?
Bear Alexander epitomizes the USC defense.
Correct. He’s pretty much been a bull rusher which ND’s IOL struggles w/. Keep Schrauth on the sidelines for this one or he’ll be on the losing end of a pancake more times than not.
There’s no question. EVERY time we hear how poor an opponent’s defense is, they rise up and shut ND down w/ movement & confusion. The OC does them no favors so maybe he’ll pull a Costanza and do the opposite of whatever he normally would call.
It's definitely technique with him because he absolutely throttled a few DL from louisville, but when he was off, like you saw, he got bull rushed into a sack.
Spot on. That’s when he should’ve seen game reps. He did flash some greatness on a lot of plays vs UL but he’s too damn tall in his stance and UL were doing a great job of getting low. He should have a bright future but he’s not quite ready for the toughest opponents quite yet. Question is “does Rudolph & co Realize that?”
It’s midterms so maybe the person doing the hype video is barricaded in their dorm studying.
