Something hit me while watching this. Will is making the throws to wide open receivers he was missing in the first three or four games. This offense is on another level now. Will's confidence is unshakable. He sees the entire field.

Nice.
Now we need to just put together all 4 quarters together. Once that happens, we'll be hell on grass.
If Will and our offense put together a full 60 minutes like the second half of the Auburn game, the 623 ypg record would be broken. I hope he does it next Thursday.
That would be amazing timing.Quote:

I wish I would have realized that earlier in the season because I've made plenty of ignorant comments about how I wish 4th quarter Will Rodgers was playing the whole game.Quote:

Then these reviews would be like 2 hours, but, so well worth the time. lolQuote:

True, but falling behind by double digits every week is no recipe for success. I hope we can start playing better early in these games and it doesn't become a pattern for us to start super slow and fall behindQuote:

And, yes, our TOP wears down defenses. A&M was sucking wind in the 4th quarter. Auburn was too. Kentucky's defense flat gave up in the 4th. They were done.
In that case, the D needs to not shit the bed in the 1st quarter while the O figures it out.Quote:

This is my theory as well. When the defense we're playing again runs a 4-3 every game, how are we supposed to know what their 3-8 will look like?Quote:

I think we play conservative early, but, since we know our offense can explode, we should play looser early & take chances. If we throw an INT, who cares? We can easily overcome it.
So to solve the issue, I'd tell Will "Look, we don't know how they're going to play us yet, but be aggressive. Put them on their heels early."
