I know our oline is not great and I don't really see an SEC tackle on the roster but our predictable game is making them look worse than they are.
1 If we have a strength, it's our passing game so we should pass to open up the run. This means pass on first down. We do this for the first ten minutes of each game then it's run on first down until late in the fourth at which time we may pass on first down if we're behind. Even the commentators have pointed it out in several games.
2 Most QBs are instructed to to get rid of the ball in 3 seconds or less. Russell seems to have been taught wait for 3 seconds then he can throw it. The defenses know this so they send pressure every second and third down. A really good o line has trouble protecting a QB in his situation. We never run any quick slants or draw plays to make them pay.
At least we're consistent.
