Furman v Chatty Breakdown

[GrizInTheZoo]

Hey Paladin fans -

A former All American WR for the Griz, Sammy Akem has been doing breakdown videos of all our games this season. He recently did a breakdown for the FU/UTC game that may be of interest:

This was well done.

I didn't realize in real time how wide open a touchdown Furman had right there at the beginning of the game. UTC's entire defense bit on the tunnel screen to Dean, which we admittedly run a lot on third down, and Ferguson just sprints past the defense.

This guy does a nice job. Knows the game.

I think that may happen more than we realize. Really like Huff and feel he does a good job but he may pull it down too quick at times. He winds up scrambling for a nice gain on the play and moved the chains BUT it wasnt a TD. We had too many field goals last week after great scoring opportunities. That may hurt us against a high powered O like Montana. Agree that the guy on the video really knows his stuff. Ferguson would have had an easy TD on that very well designed play. The fake screen to Dean certainly did what is was supposed to do. Keep that page in the play book, staff.

That play was interesting to watch, because there was a wide open touchdown opportunity, but Huff still ran it for 15 or so yards after pulling it down.

Furman definitely showed against UTC the willingness to take some of those shots downfield. Against Montana, we're going to need to hit on them. A couple of missed opportunities in the end zone may be the difference in winning and losing tomorrow.
