Good job by the OLine, particularly Davis & Quinney with the kick & seal at the 2nd level. JPM showed great vision and burst here

Our personnel caused an alignment issue for Miami. 11 personnel kept Miami in Nickel. Nickel defense usually set usually set their front (2 DTs in particular) to the hashmark, RB or slot. Here Miami is set to the hash and it leaves our OLine no one to block. If they were more decisive this probably could’ve been a house call

Inside Zone play, they should have just stayed on their tracks upfield- that's what's coached. They drifted on their routes. You can see, just like you said, that hole and with a seal just open up.

Also the tight end is supposed to block that guy, smh. No idea why he gives him up after going to block him originally.
 
That would be absolutely fine with me. By far the biggest frustration with PJ's offense for me was his stubbornness to run the same offense he ran for the past 30 years. If anything, it went further backward by deemphasizing the passing game even more once he figured out we just couldn't do the run and shoot well (he simplified the offense every year, by his own words). The modern option looks something like Tulane or Auburn with lots of short, accurate RPO passing and elaborate route trees as a standard part of the package. If he had just evolved (not changed, but evolved) away from the pure veer and its two wing backs plus BB, I believe recruiting would've been much easier and he would still be here today. Even Navy evolved under Niumatalolo and started running the more modern RPO style with 4-wides and shotgun sets. Why was PJ so damned stubborn in this area? It's like Vad Lee and the diamond formation soured him forever on the forward pass. Water under the bridge, I guess.

Edit: I said AB but meant B Back
Why oh Why?

There is now reason to believe they will get better. The bye week for film study could not have come at a better time.

the down-field blockers I guess are so used to the runners not gaining anything that they quit early, --yep with Mason, DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING
