why after three games have we not attempted Even one pass to a back coming out of the backfield or a screen pass. Oregon hurt us with late check downs to Freeman swinging late into the flat yet we never seem to have a back availed for a check down.
Oregon also ran their bubble screens with trip formations which allow two blockers to engage defenders near the line while the receiver then has time to run while the deep safety has to fly up for the tackle. We have run our bubble out of twins. This has allowed the unblock defender to blow up or delay the play long enough for Help and they still have a deep safety for deep help. Seems poorly designed play.
The most confusing part of not using backs fairing to the flats is this would slow down oppents pass rush and allow big backs like London and Scott to be one on one in space.
Second most confusing part of not throwing to our backs is Connors statement about returning this year that he wanted to be better at checking down to his backs so he wouldn't force as many throws. Hard to check down to backs in the flats who aren't there.
