Biggest Concern from the Rutgers Game

3rd downs.

Here are the third-down situations we(?) faced with 3rd down conversion rate:

1Q
3rd and 4: 43 yard TD pass Browning to McClatcher (1/1)
3rd and 4: 0 yard run from Gaskin (1/2)
3rd and 11: -3 yard sack of Browning (1/3)

2Q
3rd and 6: 5 yard pass Browning to McClatcher (1/4)
3rd and 17: incomplete pass Browning to Daniels (1/5)
3rd and 16: 5 yard pass Browning to Fuller (1/6)

3Q
3rd and 3: 1 yard run from Gaskin (1/7)
3rd and 4: 15 yard PI on Rutgers (1/7)**
3rd and 9: 10 yard pass Browning to Daniels (2/8)
3rd and 4: incomplete pass Browning to Baccellia (2/9)

4Q
3rd and 5: -2 yard pass KJCS to Lindquist (2/10)
3rd and 3: 0 yard rush from Coleman (2/11)
3rd and 1: 6 yard rush from Dotson (3/12)

**First downs awarded by penalty are not scored against 3rd Down Efficiency but it is included since it's a 3rd down play

25% against a dreck Rutgers is abysmal, especially since 9 of the 13 situations were 5 yards or less. Play-calling really needs to improve on 3rd down.

Take the 4th quarter ones with a grain of salt ...

The ones that are concerning to me are the number of 3rd and long situations ... you're looking at 4 of 9 or longer and those aren't likely to be picked up.

So much of that is predicated on the running game ... and does expose that they need to get better with the short passing game finding reasonable options over the middle whether it be Daniels, Sample, etc.

Are you counting the one where the PAC 12 network showed the first down marker 3 yards too far and it looked like he didn't get it. But did.

Speaking of that, the fourth down play where I could see on my shattered TV (fuck husky games) that we were 4.5 feet short where they still measured it was terrible too.

I like to count the second half as anything other than experience for 2nd and 3rd stringers, it's what I like to do because I'm FS

After Daniels dropped that ball in the end zone, it seemed like the coaches closed their playbooks, said, "allright, that's enough" and just fucked around the rest of the game. This is the problem with playing 3 scrimmages before any real games. You don't get to see the team play a true "full game" and you don't get to see how the handle adversity.

Hilarious that Daniels gets talked up all off season on the bored and then drops that pass.

Meanwhile, Psalm looked like a legit LB out there and recovered a fumble and injured their QB.

Daniels had 4 catches for 64 yards ... give me 11 more games like that

He is a good player, but it was still funny.

Fine, scratch the 2nd string and we go from 25% to 22%.

2/9 with our starters against Rutgers is shit, just like your posts.

One of those was the Daniels TD drop and a few others were bombs down the field.

Not a very big sample size you've got there, chief

The dawgs could not sustain the running game against Rootgers, it's a concern to me at least.

They werent really trying to though. Running games usually take off in the second half, when defenses are tiring down. Unless youre a sark coached d in case you get ran over from the start

I would have fired Jonathan Smith the first time he ran the wildcat. How many times have we run that with or without Lindquist over the past 2 years? How many times has it worked? Are we giving Smith a job as some sort of feels bad opportunity for the mentally handicapped?

They win 48-13 they can go 0-12 on 3rd downs and wear pink tutus for all I care.

does Lindy's -2 yard reception keep him in the running for whatever retarded watch list trophy he's on pace to win?

When Lindquist lines up and takes a step back...they are going to throw it to him and he will launch it downfield to a wide open Ross or McClatcher.

I am officially calling this play the Triple Lindy.

But how is our problem mental weakness?!?!?

The thing that pisses me off the most about our? offense is that there is no flow whatsoever. Most offenses I can watch and conceptually understand what the are doing. Smith just seems to use a random number generator with his plays or he's trying way to hard to be some sort of offensive pioneer for shitty play calling.



Either way I could run a better offense using the playbook from NFL Blitz 2000.
