We couldn't run, and he put us behind 24-3 after the first drive, so what was there to be done to adapt? Roll out? Throw screens? Run wide? At that point you are limited in what you can change.
How can you dress two weeks ago and be available for that game and yet not be ready two weeks later, unless he got hurt again. Simply dressing for a game doesn't fool anyone. So why was he in uniform against Illinois? Makes no sense.
My opinion. JZ was not the issue yesterday. Sure he’s a freshman and made a terrible decision (if the ball cleared that defender it would have been a big play- but still a no no) but save for a few overthrows the receivers just couldn’t get separation. Add to that our running game was non existent so what’s a QB to do? He scanned the field and no one was open and a pass rush was in his face. I honestly don’t care who’s behind center I just want them to get the job done. SK wouldn’t have fared any better under yesterday’s conditions.
Yesterday was Robison’s 4th college start so I would think he would be developing. He was the 7th rated pro style QB coming out of HS. He is in his 3rd year of college football throwing to mostly senior receivers and TEs so I would think he would be better than the QBs on our roster.
There was plenty to try which wasn’t. Roll out, definitely. More counters and traps. More TE passes which were open all day. Change up the backs.
I agree but Beaudry had his shot and didn’t look sharp against a weak FCS team. Z has had his opportunities and did ok his first game but missed a lot of wide open receivers when he was not under pressure. Randy will start Z and most likely keep him in until late in the 4th quarter.
The lack of experience not only effects the players development but also the play calling. We can’t go run, run, pass for the whole game. Offense needs to spread the field and keep the defense honest. When the play calling is so vanilla it’s not very hard for opposing coaches to anticipate what our OC will call next.
And he coulda gone if needed. They knew he would not be needed.
Are you from Georgia??
Good pickup! Not only did I flip but I flopped. Letting my angst and frustration get the best of me. Live in Ga now. Have tickets for the Navy game in November. I’ll be there and and yes I still bleed blue.
Reminds me of Dwayne Difton. Coached by Chris Carter! How did he work out?
no. Randy says must go north. There’s gold nuggets hiding in tundra.
So your position is that Randy does not want to play the best players, does not want to give himself the best chance to win and keep his job... because he’s biased against GA and TX?
Randy, who many here accuse is trying to ride the gravy train to retirement... wants to give it all up and get fired because he doesn’t want to play the best players if they are from GA and TX.
