I thought when watching again that Jake threw it as if Chase was the one catching it.

Epps can’t go high for those balls like Roberts can. Whether he wants to or not, Epps doesn’t have the size to do it.

Rewatched Retzlaffs interception vs Wyoming...Kody definitely takes some of

I thought it was a decent read, Jake had no time left, LB in his face, couldn't

Height wasn't the issue on this one...he needed to slow down a half step

High-pointing and fighting for 50-50 balls isn’t one of Epps strengths. I…

I guess that's kinda my point. You can't trust Epps with those 50/50 balls

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 9:35am

which is why you don't throw that ball to him in that spot. Like putting Keim...

icecougar

Yeah that's a fair point. Maybe Retzlaff should have already known this

Like in every single team sport play, blame doesn't lie 100% with one person.

This may be the one and only time where that works with my board name, well done sir.

When the long snapper hikes the ball 4 ft above & 10 yds past the kicker...

I mean I can hypothetical that this scenario pretty easily.

TheLoneCougar

That throw was 5 yards inside and 3-4 yards short of where it should have been.

Corn Pop

I agree with this. Jake had the ability to throw that further to a running Epps

DCCougFan

Right it was underthrown. But Epps did him no favors by making not adjusting

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 9:37am

We've seen the under throw scenario to chase numerous times

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 9:36am

I've also seen Chase tackle his defender who has the ball, so not always.

Corn Pop

The reality is that in college it's not always going to be an absolute perfect

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 10:19am

The reality is that ball was nowhere close to where it should have been. Jake

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 10:38am

You keep hammering on how the ball was under thrown. I've agreed with that

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 10:47am

No, you're ignoring that Kody was rightfully creating an opening between him and

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 11:02am

Agreed - he was doing what he was supposed to do. But as a P4 D1 WR, you're

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 11:48am

The best WRs can only do so much. That ball had extremely high odds

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 12:50pm

You're not wrong. I've been saying awhile it's time to give Phillips more reps

RockyBalboa

Kody Epps is not the same player since his injury...Epps against ND was great!

coot20

Sep 17, 7:13am

Yeah, that’s a no. If he actually led him it might been 6. Way under thrown.

kansascougar

Sep 17, 7:19am

You clearly didn't read my post. I said it was under thrown

MaximusMeridius

Sep 17, 9:38am

If you are to split it between the two, it’s 95% Retzlaff/ 5% Epps…

Dwide_Schrude

Sep 17, 7:35am

It was like 5 yards underthrown. Maybe you can give Kody like 5% of the blame.

JuicyJam

Sep 17, 7:44am

Completely agree that: ball was way short; Epps strength isn't jump balls; Chase

jtm0001

Sep 17, 7:57am

"Unfortunately it was under thrown" So Jake 99%, Kody 1% of the blame. Got it.

Saregreat

Sep 17, 8:05am

Poor throw and poor technique and effort to catch/knock it down

Projectoor

Exactly my point
