A lot of short passes and bubble screens. I was worried that Carr couldn’t throw downfield. When Carr was allowed to throw more than 5 yards, he looked good. Hard to give him a grade because we didn’t attempt any deep passes.
I’m of the opinion that you have to experiment in order to realize success. Looking back against OSU, we waited too long to throw downfield. Teams will continue to load the box on us if we don’t stretch the opposing D vertically. Why not implement a more balanced passing attack? I’m not saying that Carr has to sling it 40-50 times, but our passing game scares no one because we refuse to challenged the defense.
