BEAR Week circa 2016

Re: BEAR Week circa 2016

In case you forgot, we were up 28-0 at halftime against these guys last year with Bailey at QB. This game is not a good way to measure offensive progress.

MSU is also 3-3 this year so far. They only won a single game last year against a DII opponent I believe. They're way better this year.

Re: BEAR Week circa 2016

All of a sudden the receivers look good.

We are actually calling plays with crossing routes for once instead of our typical fades, curls, outs, etc. This actually gives somebody a chance of getting open instead of hoping we can win 50-50 balls

Nice to see dunne progress through his reads.

Their 3 wins are against a d2 school, a 1-5 team, and Indiana st, who hasn't been good this year. Their defense looks incompetent, they are getting zero pressure on the QB, and our OL hasn't been able to block anyone all year. I'm just saying that we need to see this consistent offense next week, as in the past, we occasionally switch things up for 1 week, have a ton of success, then it all falls apart. I'm hoping that won't be the case, but we need this smart playcalling with short passing to continue.

Not the routes, it's the reads from QB.

Still, they're way better this year and not just a guaranteed win. I'm not saying this is going to be a real representation of what it could look like with Dunne, but this is way better than anything we've seen this year so far. Bailey can't throw the ball effectively against anyone. Dunne can.

Agreed, he's been finding the open options in space.

Have you been watching the same games this year? There has been no short crossing routes called at all with Bailey at QB. It's been all long throws to the outside. There were no dump off options for Bailey at all, so when the deep route isn't open, he either had to chuck it and hope his WR can make a play or run it. We have been calling a much different passing game this week, which has been much needed.

Looks like someone is having a hard time admitting Dunn is the real deal....and by real deal I mean make a 5 yard pass regularly. That's all I'm looking for after what we saw from the previous guy.
