*** Game 15 (Playoff Edition): @ James Madison ***

[clenz]

he still needs to improve his accurary and decision making so f off on that

No ****. He's a freshman playing with a linebacker and 2 OL at tight end. Down an all American TE with NFL talent

He's a freshman playing with a 5th string running back at times this year

He's a freshman QB playing with a safety and a true freshman at WR.


I sure as hell hope he isn't peaked as a freshman, especially under those circumstances

[Leatherhelmet]

Juco offensive recruits and transfers: we need you bad.

I get he is a freshman..not a true freshman though...but...he hasn't learned to step up in the pocket and I dont think he ever will do to his style of play....we also need recievers that can catch...usually a big plus

There is no pocket to step into. Sometimes we are lucky if all 5 lineman even put a hand on their guy.

That is all taken into account, but even so, he still had plenty of opportunities if he didn't panic to step up in the pocket and throw. Instead He was either back peddling and retreating into pressure when he didn’t need to, or throwing off the back of his foot anticipating pressure. Receivers were open crossing in the middle and downfield. A habit that only got worse throughout the season, not improving,,, he has a knack for creating an illusion that he is always under pressure,, yet time and time again all he had to do was step forward , not run out,,,and If you mean Suni Lane, he is a legit receiver

He has a knack for creating an illusion that he is under pressure? That must be what causes the RBs to get tackled as they take the handoff as well. Can't be the OLine. Lol

There were plenty of pockets, a pocket isn’t holding and blocking at the line of scrimmage,,, it’s a pocket,, for example review that 4th and 2 that was almost a safety,,, perfect pocket with open receiver if he just stepped up instead of continue to retreat ,, several other times he throws off back of foot instead of stepping up,,

Pass blocking and run blocking are two totally different technics,,and I never said O line was perfect,, just disagreeing that he never had time,, several plays he had time but he ran out into the outside pocket pressure too soon

[panthergirl123]

Weber state and Montana looks like a great game...and the snow will make it better!

Yup. Defensive game and snow. Awesome combo.

[Alum 99']

I feel are lineman were way better at pass blocking....terrible in run blocking...there for sure were passing pockets...If Harris cant see something needs to change and he's a football guy then he never should have got an extension

[run&blade]

Harris isn’t going to do anything. Stuck with Farley until he retires.

i hope a whiskey bottle is close by the day I hear Harris extends him.

We tried nothing...nothing out or ordinary...as a coach when you know you are not fighting in s fair fight...you need to try something's you normally dont...no trick plays...maybe a fake punt? Throw a deep ball maybe? Anything to try to win........running up the middle all the time is not trying to win

I agree. Seems like every time a team is in a situation like that they try something to shake it up. We just steadfastly refused to try anything.

Was taking a risk likely to work? No. But doing what we were doing was guaranteed not to work.

He steps back because he can’t see and by fading, routes are broken off, timing thrown off, he doesn’t have arm strength to throw downfield and isn’t a timing passer (doesn’t throw the deep out) from the pocket. The passing game is a mess. I get the injuries. I get the line. But pro style qbs need 3-5 seconds to get the ball out on a timing route. Most of his plays are improvised/backyard plays due to physical deficiencies. He has strengths, but he’s more of a situation or package qb rather than every series qb

This is false
