I'm betting that Barkley will get some passes in the second half. We need to get him the ball IN SPACE and on the move, NOT flat footed and four yards behind the LOS.
agree so why would anybody think we are "holding back" a secret playbook for UM and tOSU???? Iowa was a near loss and Indy was not what the score indicated. i cant believe JM is holding any secrets.
Yeah, the Spread HD looked pretty good by comparison.
It seems that the offense has made no adjustments to teams focusing on stopping Barkley in the run game. I expected maybe keeping a TE or even another lineman in the backfield to help the run game or spreading SB out wide to get him the ball.
This is why QB's almost always win the Heisman....it's too easy to focus on a RB and take them out of a game. If Trace was a better runner, he'd have 200 yards rushing in games like this.
I would like to see Barkley used in the three WR bubble screen with Stevens or Sanders in the backfield.
Looks like with #2,Haley, #1, and Toney more playmakers on the D than the O side. Kids are developing over on that side of the ball.
He strikes me as a really stubborn person. Just refuses to admit that he needs to change something.
It was meant to be sarcasm. The new guys are supposed to better, but results are worse
NW is a spread team and look what they did on short yardage. the QB was under center and handing to RB to get 1st. when NW tried to get fancy on 3rd down runs we took them down.
I agree, but have faith that there will be a halftime adjustment to correct it.
The D is playing great. Gave up some big plays, but managed to thwart and points.
Probably the right choice, but Franklin may try to use the 3rd quarter to put up some points and put the game away....we'll see.
Everyone says that Saquan is best getting to the edges. But they NEVER attempt to get him there. There are tons of ways to do this but they insist on sticking him into a phone booth instead. Jet sweeps, bubble screens, all of it is missing. They keep running Trace which isn't going anywhere.
John Madden-ish - You can't just put a hat on a a hat, when they got more hats. WTF
Watching the lion (Zack Sowa) dance with the NW mascot in the end zone at the half. Anyone notice that our lion seems very tall.
And why would we need to ADJUST in game to teams selling out to stop Saquan? If he doesn't know that going in, we have much bigger problems.
As a Redskin fan, this is my favorite.... They made a living running the counter trey under Joe Gibbs.
Franklin himself said the offensive line was going to be a strength this year!
We are two halves away from playing Michigan...the team that charts tendencies as well as Alabama.
Tendencies be damned in two weeks.
Settle down!

Franklin has stated that he doesn't go into the game with a preconceived notion of what the offense will do, that they capitalize on what opposing defenses give them. Which begs the question of why go away from what was working with the passing game? Unless it's McSorley's reads.
Then again, up by two scores and worried about the offense production is a good problem to have (relatively speaking)

We're not even getting hat on hat.. usually 2-3 o line on every play (McGovern, Mahon and sometines Bates) standing 2 yards upfield looking back at Saquon laying on the ground 2 yards behind the line if scrimage
Sorry, with the weather getting worse as the game goes along, I'd have taken the wind in the 4th.
