It would be interesting, but almost impossible unless someone goes back and watches the games, to see how many of Nassib's passes are in the 10-20 yard range vs in the <10 yard range. You can't just look at a stat sheet because a 6 yard pass can turn into a 12 yard gain. It seemed like in the RU game most patterns were in that under 10 range and in the middle of the field. IMO that made it awfully easy for their D as we were only using a small part of the field. Plus we don't have the horses to turn a 5 yard pass into a big gain, so they could jump patterns and not worry about keeping safeties too deep. The last two seasons RU has seemed to know where the ball was going ahead of time, which is a problem. IMO the NW game was mostly short passes until the 4th Q. Same for our other games. It seems like our passing scheme is no different than in years past. We are just better at executing it and doing it at a quicker pace. But it is all short quick passes until we get behind and then open things up. Is this what our O is? Or is it a necessity because of pass protection?
