The one problem I have with Eveld is that he's got very little to run on. He's just not a guy who you can rely on for heavy QB play. I thought it was a major mistake, especially given how Davis and Tice ran, to make him pass the ball so much against a very tough UConn pass defense.
His protection was fine against Cincy-perhaps the best it's been all season. UConn protection was okay, but it has it's issues.
I wonder if his injuries are why we didn't see more of Taggart's offense against UConn. Perhaps Taggart didn't want to risk having his QB take hits on screen plays and what not. I saw the Taggart offense at work against Cincy-dump offs to the TE, positive passing on every down, focus on passing efficiency. I didn't see it as much against UConn, especially as McFarland disappeared and our WR just failed to put in any sort of effort.
That said, it's clear that the screen pass is a strength of this offense-perhaps the best passing play we have. If our receivers put in some more effort, perhaps we'd see them actually winning some battles for fades and slants.
