I mean, UT burned us twice last year on isolating a RB/WR on a LB for 2 TDs. Did White not prepare the team for the same damn play? Did he not see that, when given plenty of time, Hooker is going to make you pay. Did we change up our blitz, did we come with 2 guys from the same side like UT did, did we do much of anything other than stay in base?
I've seen parts of 3 or 4 games of UT this year. How does anyone look at their film and not see that they sell out on the run with run blitzes and go for big plays on defense? High risk/high reward all day. Their pass defense was averaging surrendering 330 yards so one might guess there's a weak spot there or the scheme leaves guys out on an island in man coverage. I'd love to know how many times we threw on first down last night when I could see 6, 7, 8 UT defenders on the LOS on first and second down all night. Where was a dump off right over the LOS to a back or TE when they showed that look? I forget when it happened but Levis took a big hit on a sack when CRod had snuck out of the backfield with no defender within 10 yards. Didn't have to be a precise pass. Just read the damn blitz, know who is supposed to be where and loft it out there for 10+ yards. Especially early on, there were plays to be had and either Levis didn't see the right guy or he saw him too late. For all his resume as a QB guru, Scan has not improved Levis this year, imo. He still forces balls into coverage, still locks on a receiver, still eschews the checkdown even when it saves him taking a hit, still doesn't read the coverage presnap to get his keys and then know where to go with the ball.
What did they see on film to believe the game plan they developed had any chance of working?
