Re: 3rd and Long is NOT a running down
I might be wrong, but the vast majority of passes to George or Pitts over the middle are on 3rd and long. I swear, if it's 3rd and long and we don't run it, it's a pass up the middle to Pitta or George, usually threaded between two defenders.cachevalleycougar wrote:You must not pay attention to some of these...

3) Name the last time you saw Pitta or George catch multiple passes over the middle? (1 throw to them in the middle all game v. TCU--catch by Pitta for 22). Most games. Almost all of George's catches are over the middle; Pitta catches them all over
5) Name the last time you saw a pass pattern where BYU flooded a specific zone with crosses, motion, etc, in order to try to create a mismatch? Isn't this the whole idea of bunching 3-4 players to one side like they do a handful of times every game; or putting Pitta in the slot?

I can't remember the last time BYU threw a deep pass NOT down the sideline.Lawboy wrote: And tell me when a WR goes deep middle, my other point. Or catches a ball between the hash marks? The point being, WR's pretty much always stay outside,

Re: 3rd and Long is NOT a running down
1988 v. Texas. Sean Covey to Andy Boyce for a touchdown on BYU's first offensive play of the game. Just kidding. It may have been Chuck Cutler.
