Field position had a lot to do with our bad first quarter. That and our propensity to run on first down sitting up a second and ten and a certainty to pass.
The only thing about Russell is that he is a true duel threat. So if you wanted to run the QB a little more re RPO or straight QB run he would be an option. I think Ty could also do this but he is apparently more beaten up.
If we sub at QB I’d go w the best runner and then go with a few designed QB runs and RPOs. Give their D something else to worry about. Might help slow down their rush.
Thoughts for the season
We almost never have successful first down plays
We almost always run off tackle
Our O line doesn’t do anything good. Not good at pass blocking not good at run blocking. You can be subpar at one if you are exceptional at the other
Offensive Game planning outside of one...
The FG definitely deflected off the fingertips of the defender who illegally jumped over/off of another player’s back. Guys at locked on Bama said that the long snapper was replaced afterwards.
