He most definitely did not. Like you said, the DL is directly in front of him when he double clutches.

LOL....you don't think I watched the full play? The play that is there when I click play is a 3rd and 15 where 2AM runs and gets injured. Nobody is pulling.

Statistically in the NFL, each turnover lost lowers the chance to win a game by 16-22%
A team with no turnovers lost wins about 75% of the time.
Generally speaking, a team that loses the turnover battles has a negative net turnovers has a losing season.
Now college football is a bit different because the talent gap between teams can be a lot more extreme but no less impactful.
Before this season, Adrian had fumbled the ball and lost it 15 times and thrown 20 interceptions. So far he has done better. However, in games he has fumbled or thrown an I terception this year, we have lost. I'd have to dig and verify that, but I believe that is accurate.
So Adrian does a lot of good things, but in games where he has fumbled or thrown an interception, we've lost. If you go back to prior years...it is a very strong pattern. His turnovers kill our games.

I slightly give AM a break after the initial hit he took to the jaw/chin area. I’m sure he was playing on more than just adrenaline. He made some plays and then he completely missed wide open targets. He doesn’t help his own cause at times, but he isn’t the main reason why we aren’t pulling out wins. IMO, we should have won that game by at least 8-14 points, like I had wrongly predicted.

Haha yeah, I saw today that LM had 7-8 carries for 35 yards. No passing attempts. Rice is a quality education though.

He could've played slot receiver here if he put on some more weight and may have been great in my opinion, but nope...........he's a QB..........just ask him! :facepalm:

All of your clips you've pasted here from that video today unfortunately started at the 0:00 mark. What you have to do is right click on the YouTube video and select 'Copy video at current time' and then paste that link into the post.
Just trying to help - I enjoy watching the clips.

No doubt our Oline isn't giving AM much help.
However it's on AM to get rid of the ball quickly when he sees an open receiver. In this clip Austin Allen a 6'9" target is in his line of sight- wide open on a crossing route and AM does not throw- takes a sack instead.
The pocket isn't going to be clean for 5 seconds AM- There are too many of these and yes as always we LOVE AM- great kid, works hard- gives us best chance to win etc etc

I agree here with everything you said. I am beginning to wonder after seeing that specific clip, if AM’s main problem is he doesn’t pre-read coverage very well and therefor doesn’t know who is going to be the first read on the passing play.
That play, it’s clear it’s man /free over coverage , (motion and defensive alignment are the cues). AM should only be looking at the backer on the snap to verify the coverage and the blitz. If he comes, the crossing route is hit immediately for a decent gain.
That was a great play call by Frost knowing they would blitz, other receivers are clearing out for Allen and AM’s eyes saw the rush instead instead of Allen breaking free over the right guard.
