Rewind: UL vs. Tulane – From the Bird's Nest

Good question

No Turbine... that may not have allowed the turnover battle to define the game. And that breaks the rules of football. Once your defense holds another team to 3 field goal attempts following turnovers... you pretty much have to give up and just run your RB into the pile. I'm pretty sure that's what the chart says.

Didn't read...no 1420 for me.

Me either. I'm curious. But not that curious.

If our line was playing that bad why not go four wide with Eli and Riles inside and Wright or Calais in the backfield and use a quick passing game?
You stretch the defense out, they have to focus on Eli, and you create space for things to happen.

Dude, that's hilarious!

We tried to go to more of a short passing game as opposed to the more downfield passing game we employed early in the game. However, we avoided any type of short slants and god forbid, WR bubble screens. Their pressure was just on Jennings before he could really get into any type of read progression and we allowed Nico Marley to look like Lawrence Taylor.

Great analysis.
