Even after he's proven he won't hit them? At some point you have to tell yourself to stop calling deep shots just because you have the strongest arm in America. I get why it was part of the game plan, but to just keep doing it 2 weeks in a row when we could easily have moved the ball down the field was frustrating.

You have to throw the ball deep vs teams that play match quarters. Pitt, UGA, bama, Florida etc. especially ones that press bc it’s dangerous and hard to throw bubbles and stuff against rolled up corners.

It’s unrealistic to expect to hit like 75% of them but you gotta hit a couple. The ball to Hyatt has to be caught.

It didn't work for Hillary Clinton but hey it might work for you, "Our fans are not compliant." They may in fact be deplorable. I mean close to 70% of the state is "deplorable" so I guess it's maybe to be expected.

Here's the thing. We're not Miami yet and most years we have more fans at our spring game than Pitt has stadium capacity.

This chart shows annual attendance at Ole Miss football games after they fired Freeze.

View attachment 394120

This past weekend after appeals from Kiffin Ole Miss had an announced crowd of 47,848 for their game against Austin Peay. That's almost 75% capacity. So at least so far they still haven't recovered. Granted, Austin Peay may not be a marquee game.

We had an announced crowd of 84,314 for Bowling Green. That's over 82% of capacity. There was a lot of bitching about the QB after the Bowling green game. The crowd announced for the Pittsburgh game was 82,203, down 2,110 from week 1. So either some of our most die hard fans didn't turn out for the Pitt game or visitors to our stadium from Pittsburgh numbered significantly less that the visitors that showed up from Bowling Green.

I figure maybe close to 30% of our fans are in the "not deplorable" category. They're highly intelligent and health conscious so when the CDC says large outdoor packed gatherings like at college football games still carry a measure of risk for the transmission of the virus - well those fans, being compliant to the CDC, may be choosing to stay home and watch the game on TV.

It's like with Hillary. Many voters were not compliant to her message and aspiratons but they were complaint to the other guy's.

Finally, If you build it, they will come. I just made that up but it sounds good, right?

We could be like Biden and put cutouts all over there stadium. Then we would have full capacity

yes.
The threat alone opens up everything else.
You have to run guys deep or things get bogged down. If it’s open, see it, throw it.

Being around them at UCF, the number was hit 40% of the shots.
A mere, 2 outta 5 changes the game in every way.

Let's all be clear though...Milton's misses haven't been worse case. He hasn't underthrown many, he hasn't lead the WR into a big hit or the sideline, and he hasn't thrown them to the other team. Those deep bombs aren't high completion % throws for most people.

Russell Wilson for the 2019-20 season had the highest deep ball % in the NFL, at 42.3%.

So they know there's a higher chance Milton misses those than hits them...but if he starts hitting closer to 50% then those are generating points and fast. It's the risk/reward of it, the reason you'll see Milton still playing is because despite missing way more than they'd like they are "good" misses. Now if he starts generating TOs or they are completely uncatchable misses (out of bounds) then things may change.

That’s a reasonable # imo. It’s just hard Bc Hyatt is our only guy who can take the top off but he has such a hard time getting into his route unless he’s covered up or stacked.

I loved the way we started attacking mof tho with the TEs. WRs we’re having issues creating separation and our staff adjusted. Props to them. I also liked some of the designed runs they did with Hooker.

Yeah the game plan looked like How Heupel had it for Darrel Mack who is very similar to Hooker

Imagine hearing we'd miss every single deep ball, 140 million penalty yards, -3 in turnovers, and lose on an awful spot in the 4th quarter...and only lose by 7 when we were 4 pt dogs...

Call me crazy, but there's a lot of optimism to be found in all of that.

I guess it depends what you think of Pitt's talent at the end of the day.

I think the fact that we played so bad and the game was still close says exactly what I thought about Pitt going into the game... They are a bad ACC team that we have a significant talent advantage over.

Dear Ncaa,

Thanks for the ACC officiating crew this weekend and the stellar replay booth contributions.
We were wondering when you were gonna get off your dead azzes and make a ruling on Byron Young?
Maybe take time out of your sniffing Nick Saban's jockstrap , ruining the game in general , and do us a solid.


With all due respect,
VN

Calloway and Holiday can't take the top off of it? Or just a lack of experience being new to the WR position.
