About The Offense
Following Sunday’s scrimmage, quarterback John David Booty talked about how well play-action passes worked. It’s still early but if the passing game struggles, play-action passes could become a fixture, especially if the freshmen tailbacks live up to their promise.
``First, it means the running game is working and puts more pressure on the defense to play the run,’’ said a Big 10 offensive coordinator. ``You try to get the safeties out of there with play action, and it’s easier for quarterback not good enough to just drop back and throw it.’’
I'm not sure if I should bash Scott, be a little concerned about Booty, both, or just completely disregard what he has to say. I'm sure if I didn't hear so much about Booty's struggles, even from seemingly informed, impartial and reliable sources I would not be as concerned. If Norm Chow was around I'd just laugh and say "fools".
If Kiffin is as predictable at playcalling as he was last year it won't matter if we have Play-action pass or no play-action pass. Opposing DC will know whether it's a run or a pass if we are as predicable as last year.
Scott----Most BIG 10 QBs are not "good enough" to drop back and throw it. Weren't any SEC OCs available to comment on the forward pass.
On a different note when will the Hawaii and BYU OCs be breaking down our running attack/shortfalls?
said a Big 10 offensive coordinator???
name?
