5 Questions UT Fans Want Charlie Strong to Answer

[DMAC]

Who would you move into that spot? We have an abundance of playmakers sitting on the sidelines? Fact is, this team desperately needs game changing talent on offense. We don't have it now. 

And for the record, I don't buy any of the Heard BS about not being ready or moving to another position. Heard is still a can't miss prospect in my mind until I see otherwise on the field.

As I said in the quote "Daje has been scarce".  Move Daje Johnson into Marcus Johnson's spot.  Marcus Johnson hasn't done anything all year.  Daje has been proven to be an explosive play maker, look at Baylor game last year.  We kept hearing they were going to use Daje more but it never materialized.  

• Foreman has 2 TD in 2 games, Shipley and Johnson have 2 TD combined all year.
• Foreman and Daje are both averaging over 12 yards per rush mostly on end arounds.
• Daje had one pass thrown to him all season and it was overthrown.

We had 2 "play makers" on the sideline most of the season and opted for the good hands team, Ship and Harris.  Obviously Harris been awesome, Ships clutch catches were undeniable.  Marcus Johnson, IMO, was a wasted spot.

right. you should ignore the opinions of coaches who see him every day in practice.

Let's hope that Daje has matured enough for the coaches to take him serious enough option to be a major part of the offense.

The ball is and always has been in Daje's court.

On Heard, I really don't what to tell you but, being a playmaker in 4A ball does not equate to being one at a major Div. 1 school.

Heard, like most freshmen QB's need time.  

Next time you attend a practice or talk to someone that has, tell us what you see?

Agreed, but my biggest criticism of this staff is where are the halftime adjustments?

We stunk in the 3rd Quarter of most games this year.  Why? 

This is a VERY valid question.. . . .

As to the "what does CFS think about Watson" . .. . stupid question. . . if he didn't respect him, he would not have brought him here. . .

I'll make no bones that MJ was spotty at times. . . .

He was also our #3 pass catcher averaging 12.3 a grab and made some HUGE plays for us. . . .and his BIGGEST problem was a lack of quality QB play. . . .I'll wager he was wide open for a long grab/TD at least 6 times (likely more) only to see the ball not thrown into his zip code. . . .

The problem with WRs is that they often only look as good as their QB lets them. . .

I hope so, otherwise it would be such a waste of talent.

Good point on the QB.  The one notable play I remember was the, over the middle on 3rd and long grab, that bailed us out when we were having problems moving the ball.  Other than that I just didnt see much out of MJ

Foreman has been such a surprise he actually had another TD, on a run, called back on a penalty.  Iowa State game I think.  

Hopefully we can find a way to get Daje and Foreman on the field more in the bowl game.
