    Of course he did, but he threw it down field vertically, ALOT.

    Yup, he went for the jugular, built a big lead and then unleashed horses like Rhett and Taylor to finish out the game.

    I was actually at that game, only time I went to that crap hole stadium. Vols were such disgusting fans. And the stadium was a joke packed in like sardines.

    Our offense is designed to throw to WRs in traffic. This will get them hurt.

    Need to create separation, both by route design and by better route running by the WRs. Need some Van Jefferson types for this offense.

    Entirely true, but Rhett wasnt the only threat. Spurrier did that because they could not risk selling out just to stop Rhett.

    Spurrier was never one dimensional.

    If OL gives QB time he can hit some deep routes. Look at old films from Wisconsin Mertz threw deep some. Needs more than 2 secs to give WRs time to get downfield

    And if we quit running into stacked boxes on first down and use that 70+% passing percentage to not create 3rd and long, it’s not so obvious what th e playcall is going to be. A high percentage pass making it consistently 2nd and five is some Tom Brady shit. Make the game easy for Christ sake. Throw the ball 50 freaking times if teams want to play the entire defense in the box.I know Napier wants to run and play hard nose football like Georgia plays but tge defenses are daring you to burn them over the top and totally selling out on the run and teeing off on the curls. There’s no need to call playaction, just burn their ass till they back the hell off.

    Pretty sure X got hurt late because he didn't play against the Noles.

    our WR’s hardly catch passes and have chances to get yards after catch.

    A high percentage of our pass completions are to the RB behind the lines. If you want your playmakers to be involved, get them the ball when they aren’t sitting

    The problems with the hitch routes certainly came up on GNFP.

    That’s because Spurrier was a good coach, and good coaches adapt their scheme to their current talent level while slowly shifting it to stay ahead of defensive adjustments and incoming talent.

    There’s a reason we don’t see this from our current staff.
