their previous positions and looking for reasons to prove themselves right. They're probably happy we lost. It's pretty sad.

ARod and the coaches have done a fantastic job with this team.

Rewatching the game. The speed option on third down at the end of the game was there.

P-Boy Squad All-American

He just had to wait one more step to force the defender to pick either QB or pitch. It was too early. Game of inches

The fade at the end of the first half was there if Jake throws the ball on the right side of the receiver

For a fade (a play I hate) it was actually wide open. Just an awful throw though.

Agree, not my favorite play. But the matchup was good and Ta'ase was open

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 18, 4:33pm

I don't like the matchup as Ta'ase is big but not a great WR. He is a blocking TE.

kimdaddy35

Nov 18, 4:35pm

It is hard for me to tell how open Taase was because the DB breaks on the throw really fast. Shows you just how

P-Boy Squad

If Jake throws the ball to the other side of Ta’ase, even if he doesn’t

Except that Jake consistently doesn’t make that throw. It’s low percentage

Cougulator

Starting from his low side-arm motion, it's probably difficult...

Les IsMore

Nov 18, 9:43pm

Whether it was there or not is not the question...why did we have to pick such

imdocrob

Nov 18, 9:10pm

Arod said in coordinators corner that it’s a high percentage play that they practice a lot

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 18, 9:12pm

and yet two weeks in a row it has been picked...again tells me Arod is not

…throwing the pass.

Jake needs to force defenders to commit. He can improve on that a lot.

The fact that we use the option so much now is concerning.

Underrated comment right here.

Idk about TD but it was too early.

JuicyJam

I bet Jake felt rushed because of all the hits he took

ARod said on coordinators corner that the option should have been switched to

bluegaucho

Definitely would have given the RB more room to make something work. The short side definitely made him turn up field

P-Boy Squad

Nov 18, 4:41pm

You mean not the packed short side? Revolutionary!

Soupie

Nov 18, 5:02pm

Well...

All-American

Nov 18, 6:36pm

Big difference was the timing of the pitch between those two plays.

Soupie

Nov 18, 8:49pm

Not that it was to the "packed short side"?

All-American

Nov 18, 8:54pm

Both were problems. Being packed means he had to be more precise in the timing.

Soupie

Nov 18, 8:57pm

Hadn't watched Coord Corner but guess ARod agrees with me.

Soupie

Nov 18, 9:24pm

Oh, so he agrees that the big difference was the timing of the pitch?

All-American

Nov 18, 9:33pm

You should tell us all about it: how it worked or didn't, how it was supposed to or not.

Soupie

Nov 18, 9:36pm

Let me know first when you decide what the actual problem was.

All-American

Lassiter misses a lot of blocks. Miss hill for that reason

BYU '80

Nov 18, 6:43pm

And what was Jatta doing??

andrewg3

Nov 18, 7:46pm

Sealing the edge and ready to take on the LB. He was in great position.

P-Boy Squad

Nov 18, 7:51pm

Looked like the DT was head up on Jatta and the edge was very wide. Too wide to run that play in my opinion

22jrob22

Nov 18, 7:59pm

So who was supposed to block the guy that came in untouched?

andrewg3

Nov 18, 8:56pm

Jake audibles into this play, wasn’t called by A-Rod

investedfully

Nov 18, 8:06pm

Two plays are called and he killed the first. You see him making the cut motion.

P-Boy Squad

Nov 18, 8:10pm

He also yelled “kill, kill”

A rod has done a lot with very little

If you think any critical fan is happy we lost, you're delusional.

They sure seem happy to have evidence for their pre-determined opinions
