Dooley said:Here's another thought: is this method really the best method to "protect" and "coach up" the OL? By refusing to throw the ball at all on Friday night, the discussion is all about why UCONN chose to run and punt nonstop. Because our OL sahqs. Calling out your OL and putting them under such an intense microscope can have two possible outcomes: 1) they get really motivated to prove people wrong and play better or 2) they turtle up worse than the play calling on Friday night and play worse.
Same goes for the QB. If I'm Chandler I'd be thinking, "if Jameis Winston was the UConn QB I bet coach would have tried more passes". Chandler is being bombarded by the blitz but barely throwing at all has got to wreak havoc on his confidence. Basically, he fumbled on the first series and he was shut down for the night, no way that doesn't get in your head.
