Ok watched some more this morning.
Browning of course locks on to a receiver almost every play and never gets to a second read even if first option is blanketed.
But the curious thing is that there is no rhyme or rhythym to which receiver he locks onto. Hugh is continually pointing out that the targeted receiver has a bad matchup and there was a different matchup that could have been exploited.
Whatever happened to the pre-snap wizard Browning that supposedly existed in 2016?[/b]
Smoke and mirrors. And John Ross.
The first 7 games we had:
- 3 garbage OOCs.
- Stanford with both starting CBs out injured [/i]and coming off a grueling, emotionally draining 4Q comeback at UCLA.
- Historically bad Oregon defense
- Oregon State and Arizona.
Utah 2016 was the beginning of the end as Browning made some OK throws but also struggled, throwing a momentum-killing interception when we were up 14-0 and about to plunger them. Just a terrible read and even worse throw that completely rejuvenated Utah and made it a barnburner.
USC of course finally exposed him. One of the worst QB performances you'll ever see. Fouch would have done worse, but not by much.
By Colorado he could barely even throw a forward pass with confidence. And he was likely injured.
If you watch Rutgers 2016 his arm definitely had more zip on it. He never got it back.
