Film Study: Jahan Dotson vs. Maryland

VIDEO DOTSON vs. MARYLAND

See Link. Main takeaway: he's really good at football. But beyond that, it was cool to see how Yurcich schemed him open. On a few of these plays, it seemed the other 3 receivers were just running interference/picks to get Dotson open.

Two biggest take aways, Maryland has the worst secondary on our schedule and their DC apparently doesn't watch film. The book on Dotson has been written. He is soft. He doesn't react well to contact. Bump him at the line, play tight man to man and he can be contained quite easily.

Side note, as you pointed out, we are darn lucky officials don't really call offensive pass interference. If Maryland had played Dotson tight, they likely would have thrown a few flags.
