Yesterday's Two Turnovers

[pascobull]

I just watched the replay of both Eveld's turnovers. On the fumble, that MSU D-lineman ran right past our Guard on the left side who didn't fan out enough and let him fly on by, didn't get a block on anybody, maybe touched the guy's sleeve, didn't even redirect him at all. Just blew right by and whacked our QB on his blind side.

 

On the interception, Eveld was looking way up field and both Shaw and Epps each let a guy run free right past them to be open for a check down pass while their QB got sandwiched.

 

I hope they watch a lot of film this week. FAU will blitz early and often against us.

Clearly some blocks were missed.  But by the same token, a QB has to have some sense of the pocket.  Also, he has kind of a long wind up, and maybe his overall decision making could have been quicker.

 

Not saying those were his fault.  But I wonder if either would have occurred with a different QB.  Then again, at least he didn't wind up and throw to a well covered receiver.

He also threw one right into the Easter basket of one of the best corners in college football.  The entire offense, sans Shaw, performed as expected yesterday.  Simply overmatched.

 

I expect Shaw to break out next week.

With our QB's we might as just run the wildcat with Shaw.

With our QB's we might as just run the wildcat with Shaw. 

 

Not a bad idea at all.  Can he throw?

Add ALL the AAC teams to FAU, until we show that we can pick it up. That takes either more time from the o-line (not likely at this point) or quicker routes & decisions from the QB, which I think can be done. Also need to add a reliable screen/shovel for over-pursuing D's, we didn't use that very often Saturday or in the first game.

 

Still mostly correctable stuff, from what I see. Heck of a whole lot more to work with than after week 1, my confidence is coming up.
