Just wanted to get a consensus on people's opinion after the SDSU game.
+1. Probably a mixture of a few things. But an FCS opponent can't be understated. My guess is that we won't be having this same discussion after playing Michigan.Better QB + Lesser opponent + better execution of the playcallling because they are actually QBs, and not athletes at QB.
You have to remember our offense practices against our defense. Our defense, that is actually close to the being the worst in Div. 1. The same defense that'd can't stop anyone's running attack. The same on that allowed an FCS RB rush for 200+ yards.Each answer is correct. Better play calling lead to narrowing the scope of what plays the offense plays. When you play the plays everyone knows, you're bound to have better execution because they have done it a thousand times. Chip Kelly said that they only have 4 running plays while at Oregon. It just leads to better execution because your allowing the players to have more confidence in what they are doing. When that happens, and everyone executes better, your QB play is by far better. It also helps that you do this against an FCS defense. All of this happens. Let's be honest, Taylor would have looked amazing too.
Although, I have to admit, Tommy looked great! So did RKIII. Thank the whole offense, and the OC for playing plays those kids have ran through a thousand times before thanking Tommy (even though he looked great). Also, thank SDSU for having a not so good defense.
Was wondering when someone was going to bring this up. I am more of a "ball watcher" than someone that can identify good line play. I had assumed that with a productive offense it would point to the O-line being more productive as well, but there hasn't been much discussion as such. Could be a whole 'nother thread, but I am curious if you think the line has reached a milestone here?Anybody who didn't notice how different the offensive line was against SDSU just watches the ball every play.
