Sometimes a like just isnt enough but you people should hook this brother up.My wife is my "sweet tribulations". Be careful with her, she's hung like a tatanka.
Now as for you, my sweet donkalations, I believe the delta in results to which you are referring was caused by the body-type and skill sets of the current oline personnel for which EJ was a better fit than Trask. EJ allowed the oline to be more aggressive mostly because he was running a very limited number of plays. Basically the online didn't have to think as much and were able to just attack the dline.
I do not know why Mullen chose to go with EJ over Trask. Could it be because Trask had a greater understanding of the playbook which enabled Mullen more diversity in play calling? The end results for the year are kind of hard to argue as a negative.
Also the "option play" isn't exactly the same application as it was for Nebraska in the 90's.
And I'd prefer that you display a more professional and reserved attitude in my court counselor. Otherwise I'll need to file a motion ex parte to have you slogging pro se on my dongalation.
I have the log in to give this guy a like and then I decided I would reply.
Understand, that my position on Trash hasnt changed. High school backups have no place at UF and we should never hire garbage coaches who have to take that one in 10 million risk because they can't recruit any better than that.
That being said Trash has done unimaginably well. He has a strong enough on and has been reasonably accurate. For a guy who's never really played football, he has been incredibly calm in the pocket.
Of course it isn't a Nebraska option. it's the Notre Dame option. watch any of the '80s or '90s Notre Dame games and see how familiar the plays look. the only difference is instead of playing tight ends (or fullback) we move those tight ends out as slot receivers.
Understand that prefer a pass first offense. I do hate the ND option and especially hate the slow-mo version of it.
BUT it obviously can be effective. then again anything's effective with Tebow and Harvin.
However..... if you're going to run an option then you use an option quarterback. (Not my preferred choice.)
If you're going to use a passing quarterback then you use a passing offense with conventional run game. Probably 40 or 50% of the passes we threw last year were still option fakes screen passes or that screen fake double move to the blocking receiver. It is absurd.
Mullinz does the stuff to himself. When he gets fired, he can look in the mirror and see who caused it. If only he used the pieces he had.
