Depends on how much separation our WR's can get. They all run 4.3. If they get behind the secondary and create some space, BJ can hit 50%. That's all that Holtz wants. So long as we don't get intercepted.
I agree with you, that our hard hitting, swarming defense should be able to create fumbles. Hopefully, they will do a better job in recovering them, then what they did last year.
if bj could hit 50% of deep balls
we would throw alot more
smazza... i never thought it would happen.. but.. (I can't believe I'm typing this)...
I Agree
right it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the play calling.
He averages 20% less yards per attempt under holtz than he did under leavitt.
3 receivers averaged over 17.7 yards per catch under leavitt in BJs first year including griffin at 18.9.Griffin under Holtz last year averaged 12.3.
1 receiver has averaged over 14 yards per catch under holtz and that was bogan in 2010 at 14.6.
leavitt actually had a couple more over 16 ypc but they had less than 10 catches so i didn't include them
It also has something to do with who was bailing him out on those passes under leavitt.... Taurus Johnson, Jessie Hester JR (pre injury), Carlton Mitchell, Bogan, AJ Love... no freshman... T-Johnson a clear leader as a Sr. WR.. Hester was a Jr....
come on man... its not all on the coach.
Bail him out??? The point of the deep ball passing game is having receivers fast enough to run past the defender and under the ball, which we have a handfull of this year.
