Game Day Vandy: The last obstacle on the way to Atlanta
- Thread starter MJWilliamson

I am going to go a little out of character here, but does anyone realize a coach who wanted to control the clock and win 6-3 left us with no OL, short on LB and with no kicker?????
Was gonna mention this. We are basically going all out on a spread-option gameplan. We've used lots of motion, lots of zone read, and are feasting on the short routes where the linebackers are vacating to defend the run. Coaches doing a damn good job calling the game so far. If the offense doesn't perform it won't be on them, it'll be Harris. They're calling plays that should fit him.
Some coaches suggest going for 2 all the time anyway, it's only 3 yards. Let's say your offense averages 4.5 yards per play, your probability of getting 2 is actually better than your probability of making the XP even though everyone thinks the XP is the safe call. Attempting to get 3 yards>>> attempting a 17 yard FG.
And see I had no problem with the call to go for it earlier but I don't understand why we wouldn't just keep our offense out there and go for it as opposed to running a fake. Everyone had to know that was coming because of our FG issues and on top of that we have the ball in the hands of players who aren't used to handling it.
I know Hardin was a bad place kicker for us the last few years, but he's gotta be better than the dentist.
The offense keeps taking two steps forward, one step backward, it's so annoying. Like we'll put a good drive together and move the ball then we'll get a tackle for loss that puts us behind the chains, a poor throw leaving us 2nd and long, or a false start and on and on.
O-line is getting whipped too. Can't run and we have at least one free rusher on every drop back.
TKE, you're right on that too. Not even the WR screens are accurate. I really think this dude just overthinks his throws way too much, he tries to guide everything. That's as simple a play as there is. Catch, step, throw. You can see him trying to gather on those screens, like why???
