SC players comment on our offense
When asked if there was a moment where the Gamecocks’ defense felt they had solved the Wolverines, cornerback JaMarcus King gave an affirmative answer. He felt that way after Michigan’s first two drives.
“They gave us everything,” King said. “After that, we knew we could stop everything.”
Why? King felt the Wolverines were playing to their tendencies — running a lot of the same routes over and over again.
“The choice route where the receiver runs a mesh and the tight end runs a dig,” King said. “So they ran that probably 85 percent of the time, and they ran a lot of stop routes on the back side.
Similar answers were provided by linebacker TJ Brunson and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, as well.
Brunson knew from certain formations whether Michigan was going to run the ball and where the Wolverines would run it. He could also tell what to expect from personnel groupings. That allowed the defense to simply read their keys and “make plays, execute.”
“We got in the right calls in the right positions,” Brunson said, “and everyone executed for the most part.”

Yeah but our best drives were in the second half, so he's wrong.

I wonder if Jim Harbaugh is aware that our offenseis fucking trash

From the mouths of babes . . . "The Emperor has no clothes."
All that window dressing is just that, window dressing for 4 basic plays.
I hate our offense.
January 1st, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
were Bredeson's injury and JBB's suspension known/factored into the gameplan?
Some of the running game looked like what you might expect if you lost those cats on the first series of the game.

your list is good and makes for a good conversation piece
Harbaugh is loyal. Did you factor that into the list?

Just imagine if we would've mixed it up.

Great D - Not so much on offense

Yep. An average offense and this was a 1-2 loss team. They got their doors blown off at Penn State, but in all of the other losses they either had a lead or a chance late, despite the offense continually stumbling over itself and shooting itself in the foot.

I've never played a lick of football in my life and I can often tell what plays we're going to run based on our personnel packages myself.
I'm sure others on this board are the same.

No, not really. We're still waiting for the hand off to McKeon to be completed.

Jim Harbaugh says that the wrong personnel group for the play was sent onto the field. Says that Peters knew that McKeon wasn't supposed to get the ball but said, what the hell. McKeon says he thought they were running some other play and never expected the ball.

there's youth, and then there's Youth.
These recievers have played 12 games, including a month of bowl prep.
Some teams even seem to have success with freshman QBs, who knew that was possible?!

would have learned not to try to field a punt with his teeth in about the first grade.
January 1st, 2018 at 9:23 PM ^
There's a reason why Tarik Black was getting more time than the other freshman WRs. He had more knowledge and experience with a route tree from his high school days than DPJ had. Remember when Donnie Corley was at MSU and he didn't do much? The offenses in DPS (Detroit Public Schools) are not very intricate. So it takes a while to learn the type of pro style offense we run.
I assume that's why we saw more TEs split out wide this season. They probably had more knowledge of the playbook and route tree. One person who should have experience running routes though is Grant Perry. Did he play? I don't remember hearing his name today.

The FGs came on possessions starting from
- the SC 46 (fumbled punt)
- the SC 31 (fumbled handoff))
- the M 40 (kick catch interference 15 yds))
- the SC 32 (Furbush INT, Higdon fumble, SC Punt)
That we turned those opportunities into only 12 points was a sign of Michigan's anemic offense. Once SC stopped gifting Michigan golden opportunities, Michigan stopped scoring.

When the defense knows the offense better than the offense, that isn't a problem of complexity, that's a coaching problem.
