Cause a P4 starting QB can make plays if you give him all the time without press

pressure. We saw that with Tuiaki’s rush 3 drop 8. Occasionally it pays off, but normally a receiver will eventually get open if there’s no pressure on the QB and he has all day to wait.

Trevor Matich suggested a strategy that I'm not sure I agree with. Trevor said

My thoughts. Freshman QB, playing at LES at night, we have to rattle him.

Hawk Talons

I totally agree. I see Trevor's logic because Avery is a dangerous runner but I

Johnson is a sophomore.

Then, fill the gaps.

Why don’t you agree with it? Make him one dimensional

Zombre

Because he can beat us with his arm. With the receivers he has, if we don't hit

With any QB with a decent arm, they’ll pick you apart with that strategy.

Mix it up and try and keep him guessing and see what's effective, then adjust

At this point he has shown to be a better runner than he is a passer. BYU's pass coverage has been good.

Pretty common strategy vs a dynamic running QB

Blueto

This is basically what Tuiaki tried

canuckchuck

Sep 16, 5:51pm

Worked really really well in certain games. Problem is he ALWAYS did it

MaximusMeridius

Yeah, it worked against Slovis & USC.

Not really. He used 3 people. You can't seal any gaps with 3 people and

His legs are more dangerous than his arm at this point

Remigius

I'd love to bottle up his running, but still get a coverage sack or two in the first half just to let him meet Batty.

I agree. Getting pressure with 3 or 4 guys will be key.

Isn’t that what we tried to do with the SMU and the Wyoming QB’s

icecougar

Sep 16, 5:54pm

No on SMU. Yes on Wyoming.

kccougar

Sep 16, 5:55pm

That’s what we did when Jennings was in the game…

Spy the QB

That was Michigan's plan against Bama and Milroe.

They definitely have to maintain rushing lanes.

We've seen drop 8 work really well in certain games and awful in others

MaximusMeridius

Sounds like our strategy over past decade, which hasn’t seemed to work

Never claimed to be an expert...simply asking for thoughts on what strategy

CT98

He is correct. Elite runner. Way less elite passer.

100% agree with TM

BulldogCoug79

Unless you have a linebacker that has enough speed to spy

BulldogCoug79

Sep 16, 9:07pm

Might need a DB to play spy - LB won't be fast enough.

Yeeesss!

jaba166

Taggart and glasker are both pretty fast. I don’t think speed is Johnson’s

davidmj10

Sep 16, 9:51pm

I like the speed we've seen from Jack Kelly. We'll need his athleticism Saturday

CT98

Sep 16, 10:21pm

Which we do.

Our D coordinator will be able to game plan--he's one of the great ones.

Plantagenet

Sep 16, 10:13pm

Use the SMU game plan. Jack Kelly is perfect as a QB spy.

dYrtbYkerYder

Define pressure

Giving him all day to throw, he'll pick us apart...
