A quote from the Portland Oregon Sports forum this morning: "big and fast beats little and fast every day."
I thought they were a pretty good team in the first half. They just don't have the depth to compete with the big boys of the SEC. As to our passing game...Lee's passes were a little off, but he was getting the ball to the receivers. There were several drops in the first half, a couple that were just inexcusable. And of course, there were miscommunications and just plain old missed passes on Lee's part. I can't help but think that a lot of that was due to the last-minute QB change. I think the passing game will only get better, and in turn make the running game even better. We stacked, Bro!
the dline pushed their small oline deep into the backfield all day. and we are fast on the edge as advertised. disrupted their scatback rushing attack and thomas looked bad.
I agree. With the vertical strike ability, that should help the running game. I think Lee will continue to get better. I REALLY HOPE coach Gonzales coaches up the receivers..........
the vertical game is often dependent upon the skill of the WRs. They have to be able to outfight or outrun the CBs to the ball. #2 did that. The rest didn't. The mid range passing game is what seems to be lacking.... as it has in the past 3-4 years. The receivers just don't seem to get open. This either due to the play book or coaching... I suspect the playbook.
