The lateral to Harris was there

It was an option - the outside defender faked then committed but laviano does not have the instincts to make the play

If you carefully watch us vs other B1G schools, one thing that is really lacking is football IQ in addition to athletic ability. I think the staff sees that and is just doing best they can on both sides of the ball with what they have.
 
But it's Drew's fault for putting Laviano out there, when Oden would have been much better suited for that playcalling.

Exactly - I had no problem with the play call, but like I posted in another thread, I would have put one of our running QBs in there. Rescigno/Oden/Allen - I think anyone of those 3 would have looked better running that option.

Laviano just looks so awkward trying to run the option.

From those video captures, sure looks like Harris was where he should have been for CL to make the pitch if he chose to. -And especially in the first shot, had CL pitched the ball, appears JH had the space and the angle on the defender to get past him, especially since Harris blows CL away in terms of speed.
 
If the QB can't (or won't) run the offense...

Is it possible that avoiding TOs has been drilled so into him that he's afraid to make that pitch for fear of a fumble?

Coach Ash LITERALLY stated in his post-game presser that it's been all over him in practice to get rid of the ball instead of taking sacks. He's certainly NOT afraid of taking sacks if today was any indication lol!
 
DIdn't like the first 3 calls that series, but that call was perfect. Exactly what they drew up.2-1 is correct. The right play wasn't made by Laviano.
 
There it is. Wondering if anyone else saw that. Harris needs to Crack back there.
What?:confused: He simply needed to pitch the damn ball. Crack back?:confused: Laviano ran right into the guy, a crack back block does nothing when you run into the guy trying to tackle you.
 
WOW... That screen shot tells it all. It was not as obvious during the game but now I'm pissed.... That should have been an easy TD.
 
Laviano should have made the pitch, but he probably isn't comfortable running that type of play and that's why he kept it.
Chris isn't the right talent to be RU's starting QB,but it seems like none are better than Lavaino right now.
Oden doesn't have CA & DM's trust that he's ready and the rest are just not better and aren't starter material.
If they wee, they would be the starter.

Beg to differ. Why would you put a freshmen out there with like 7 or 8 college snaps on 4th and goal
That I can agree with , Gio might have been better than both but Ash and DM didn't put him in, so guess Gio isn't the answer either.
