Crossing routes are not picks. crossing routes are as old as passing the football. When you have inexperienced DBs, they're susceptible to being fooled and not athletic enough to make up for it when it happens, in the case of Texas' backups.

In this situation what they needed was a pass rush. Houston wasnt eating Texas up with the short passing game. The long developing deep and crossing routes is what hurt Texas. Houston threw 46 times resulting in only 2 sacks. Two of the few pressures Texas had resulted in a fumble (Ford) arguably and an interception, showing more pressure is what was needed. IIRC, both Burke and Collins went out of the game. the only other real motor to apply pressure was Bledsoe and he's not an every down lineman.

Then stopped doing " a good job" after that ?

My point answered your not interested in running the ball Murphy has a live arm let im pass
As I saidwas a 6 play drive 5 were runs and a TD. so why pass if you do not have to . Control theclock and the game. Then Horns liked to have scored too soon. but refs helped the defence.

I said what I said because people were posting about diverting to a primarily run game because Murphy was the QB. My point was that the kid can pass very well. No more, no less.

Anything else is outside of that and I really don't care to argue.

Word is Houston was stealing signals, hence their success that began mid-2nd quarter.

Seems to me this could be a problem now. Think maybe they want to change the signals? That is two games in a row.

Why am I picturing this:

That would certainly explain allot.

You would think they would have a code that was hard to crack, that changed often enough to make it harder. Obviously the code needs to be easy enough to understand, without confusing the players.

Personally I don't understand why they don't allow all the players to have a speaker in their helmet, that way all of this sign steeling drama could end.

I don't think he's saying a simple crossing route is a pick.

I believe he's claiming they were being picked, whether legally or illegally, and that's why the crossing routes were opening up so easily and the defense couldn't keep pace.

I don't recall seeing that, so I'd have to go back and look, but they were clearly running a similar concept repeatedly with Manjack and the walk-on WR.

I'd argue these apply to Sark more than anyone, especially #2.

Utah just won a massive game on the road with a 3rd string walkon that just finally received a scholarship. Quarterback guru Sark better do better with a 5* and 4* at his disposal.

Utah is so well-coached, but at least their back-up has played since Week 1.

He's also a fourth year guy who played in 10 games last year, and even started one.

Texas is having to adjust on the fly with no experience whatsoever while trying to stay in the conference race.

I'm not a DC anymore but I would have liked to see Ford or Hill fake the blitz and then drop into that middle zone where the crosser was.
