Red zone

[ubuntuCAT]

UNI is now 4-12 and our opponent is 8-8 scoring in the red zone. Of the 4 scores only 1 is a TD. How the hell is that possible???????

Average 409 yds/game but only 12 points. It's taking us over 200 yds of offense per TD.

Play calling and execution. Plain and simple.

Re: Red zone

How many of those 12 have we fumbled?

Re: Red zone

the pistol is not made for the red zone. QB under center is the way to go in short yardage and near the goal line.

Re: Red zone

Pistol is fine in the red zone, of our 5 fumbles in the red zone, how many of them came after we had picked up the first down or were going into the end zone? (4)

Re: Red zone

I should have qualified. The pistol is not made for goalline or short yardage. The defense has the middle plugged already, usually send the backers & then you are starting out with either a dive or fake dive. I've watched a lot of pistol offenses fail in short yardage in this formation. When they revert to an I or more traditional formation under center, they are much more effective in this part of the field.
