Texas Tech: It Won't Be Close

The pass rush by UH will be the key to this game.

While I like the swing passes, I have to say that throwing them inside the opponent’s 10-yard line is not my preference

The best offensive minds will tell you that the three most important things about doing a swing pass is, location, location and location.

While I like the swing passes, I have to say that throwing them inside the opponent’s 10-yard line is not my preference – there is not enough space to spread the defense out.

IMO, that’s probably the best place to throw them, for exactly that reason. You can’t really throw a deep pass, and there’s so much traffic that even short throws past the line are a little iffy. That basically means you’re limited to swings, screens, and fades if you want to make the defense respect the threat of the pass.

I was having a little fun there. Glad nobody took offense. The swing passes are running plays. It’s like USC running student body left with OJ or Marcus Allen. The college blocking rules make those pretty tough plays to defend if your wide outs can block.

Our defense will stop them more than their defense will stop us

If the QB delivers the ball quickly and takes what’s available, they’ll score some points

This game is important because it will help us prepare for Memphis as well. They can sling it and run it just as well as Tech.

@Packtex

How can Tech be considered a great offense when they run so many of those swings passes? Everything I read says those are just garbage plays.

Bubble screens work great with speedsters like Carrier who can just run by anyone. They don’t work great when you have a WR that can’t outrun a DB. Different skill sets require different play calls

Depends on your talent. Bonner and Dunbar are great making catches in traffic, but aren’t going to beat anyone in a footrace to the end zone. So throw the ball and let them catch it for a TD. Don’t make them make an easy catch then try to make a play afterwards
