Where is the screen game?

Penix under pressure the entire game. Johnson caught 75 balls at MSU last year. Somehow we don't have a single screen called to slow down their rush?

I was thinking more like how about trying a draw play? I thought that the whole game. Like Rich Alexis vs Oregon State in 2000.

But our running game was working fairly well last night as it was.

Johnson should've had another 5 carries. We? could have put the game away up 29 - 18 if Grubb doesn't go completely pass happy for two consecutive possessions.

I'm going to bring this up on today's pod
 
where did oregons backup corner come from? i know he gave up the game winner but that guy looks like a pete carrol protege
 
Grubb has some things to clean up. I have faith that DeBoer will make sure that happens. The goal-line opportunity that was fucked up is inexcusable.
 
Yeah not much TE contribution lately either. Hopefully both will be seen at the Pac Championship.
 
If there's something that I would knock Grubb on it's that we don't seem to adjust play-calling based on what is/isn't working. You saw it yesterday and you saw it against Texas last year as well.

Both of those games were against teams that had way above average defensive talent relative to the other teams on our schedule. In both of those games our O Line held up pretty well but the front 7 of both Texas and Oregon were effective in speeding up Penix and getting hands in passing lanes. They were table to be aggressive and we didn't adjust at all to make them pay for it.

I love Grubb but we're going to lose a big game because of it at some point.

Same issues at Arizona with getting cute.

Good point and I was asking my seatmate why we weren't seeing any screens to help keep the pass rush honest.
 
What about moving Penix out of the pocket at all? He glued his cleats down the entire game and took some hits. Didn't help the oline by being that immobile

Love Penix. Only question is if he is the GOAT at UW at QB. That said, I don't want to see another not mobile QB at UW. It's just so much harder to defend. A rare play I loved in the Petersen era was the misdirection screen back to Gaskin they executed perfectly against Alabama on the first drive.

Absolutely. The margin for error is just tighter when you don't have that escapability. Most of the QBs in the PAC can do it

You have to be a virtuoso with great receivers like Penix to work as a true drop back to me in the college game now. The OLs are always going to have holes so it's hard to deal with it without being mobile.

Good point. I was dumbfounded at our play calling up two scores. Made absolutely zero sense.
 
Bernard disappeared for much of the second half (must have gotten injured) but he’d be a killer in the screen game.
