What some of us have been saying all about the offense needs no more proof than the shovel pass.
CJH did not trust Nico to run his offense like Hooker did. All year Nico had a preset place to throw the ball. Last night there are 4-5 examples of him throwing it into triple and quadruple coverage. The shovel pass was stupid. On TV you could barely see Sampson and he threw it anyway.
Not a knock on Nico at all, I believe with more experience he will get us humming like Hendon did. This is the reason we slowed down this year and stalled way more often than in the past few years.
Go Vols, very good year, better than anyone could have imagined. Remember, only one team and fan base will be happy through the summer.
