What Did We Learn - Maryland

[Cy the Cyclone]

I learned that Maryland and Rutgers were excellent choices to invite to join the Big 12.

Luke looks better then Adrian in all aspects of the game... How many yards did Luke have in just 3 or 4 series...?? 

McCaffrey looks great.  But his appearances right now are in controlled situations.  So of course he "looks" better.

Designed runs.  Option.

 

Reading a Maryland defense and an Ohio State defense is "slightly" different.

As the game was drawing to a close my friends and I were all kinda quiet.  We weren't sure what happened and were almost afraid to talk about it lest something weird happen.  After the game we all left quietly.  All I could think of was this...

At least for our record

[3rd and long]

As much as I like McCaffrey, I don’t think now is the time to start him. We still haven’t seen him in the passing game enough, and Iowa won’t  let him run that option with the impunity he had today. 

 

But i also believe quoting AM’s stats today as an argument is very misleading. Let’s face it, if the Maryland defenders could catch they would have had two or three picks. He still makes an awful lot of bad throws. 

 

But at this point, I think he still has to be our main guy. But I still think a series here and there for McCaffrey adds another dimension to our offense. And is just something else for Iowa to have to adjust to.

Get him on the field for several series, and run the hurry up so they can't substitute on defense.  He could line up at WR on one play, QB the next, take a wildcat snap, etc, etc.  Would be a defensive challenge for sure.
