OL: The OL had a terrible night. Kerbyson had a night I'm sure he would like to forget. Gilliam doesn't have the lateral mobility he needs after the knee injury. Thomas had the best night of the DTs, don't know why he left the game. BTW the sack was Worley's fault as Thomas was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing. Speaking of sacks, while the line was at ault, more often Worley had time to make throws and/or move around and did not. I'd say 75% of the sacks were on Worley. Sanders played, Pair played, Kendrick played, among others (starting in the 3rd quarter)
RB: Hurd played well, the rest should have stayed on the bus.
WR: Malone played very well, was getting open all night and caught what was within reach. Pig probably the next best, but a drop off from MAlone. The rest were inconsistent. On one pass to Malone Von was wide open and a good pass could have been a TD, only a safety to beat. TEs not a good night. Blocking by WRs sucked all night. IF we ever can get Smith and Malone on the field together there would be plenty of targets to throw to as they both can get separation/open.
QB: Bad pass after bad pass, bad decision after bad decision. Whatever mojo Worley had, it is gone. There were a lot of
moments last night. Consistent underthrows on deep balls, rushing screens and flares (it would be helpful to allow the OL to get out to block before dumping the ball off, especially when you have more time ...). The question is, is there a valid alternative? I'm not sure. As someone said, next year's QB is not on campus yet.
Coaching: Jake has a limited arsenal to work with, with a poor OL and QB pay that leaves a lot to be desire, Still, we tend not to try quick passes, such as slants. Hell, it got to where I was getting the play call right a lot more than I should.
