After nearly 2 days I'm still confounded...
Considering where the team has been this season and the circuitous route they've been forced to follow to get to where they are... I was more than impressed in general with the team... as I've said before I think the Defense is a bunch of studs...
My question concerns why AJ was not allowed to run the no huddle sooner in the game???
IMHO it seems that when he runs the no huddle even for brief spells he's very successful... Granted for the most part the 'O' scheme on Saturday was rather creative. But it is woefully obvious that AJ was not put in a position to play his 'A' game i.e. the short timing passes that he was dominant with in both the UVA game and the NCSt. games. My curiosity stems from the fact that for 2 weeks CG has spoken in glowing terms about this style of play and how he was so pleased that the coaches and AJ had finally become comfortable with a style that was successful. Now I'm not one to question coaches too often but this one seems to beg the question...
Where was the no huddle, spread offense during the second half when AJ seemed to be struggling to find his rythym??? When they did finally use it with less than 2 minutes remaining and no timouts AJ led the team down the field and into position to tie the game... if not for the untimely interception it would have been an against all odds drive... This will bother me until I can either catch CG during the call in show (highly unlikely) or one of my fellow posters is able to ask on Thursday... Thanks
