While I think Wake is better than most people thought leaving the dome last week; this Rhody squad was unimpressive apart from there QB. The alarming play by some groups who just flat out lost their individual matchups is a huge concern! The grades:
MARRONE: C-, Not a Doug hater here...I actually love the guy but ultimately the play calling and poor O-line play has to funnel back to him.
HACKETT: D, Just not seeing this cutting edge, pro system that is being advertised. Play calls are predictable and the much needed shotgun is non-existent! The middle of the field is not pressured enough! The offense should have dominated the lesser athlete of Rhody. Way too many 3 step drops and is this a reflection of the swiss cheese O-Line?
SHAFER: B, Yes, still a B even though Proebst dictated to us at times. Overall, we didnt get pushed off the ball and covered well enough as the QB just knows how to make plays. All things considered with not having any film on this team with a young defense, they were not the problem yesterday.
The players:
NASSIB: C, Yes, the stats were somewhat impressive at 29/36, 324ish but there was plenty of YAC with quick checkdowns to the flat. Yes, he was pressured at times but ya know what people, every college QB must deal with pressure and he did a nice job a few times eluding the pressure but missing stevens and lemon deep kept this inferior team in the game! Like his arm and composure but he needs that game day ad-lib.
O-LINE: D-, This so called veteran unit has yet to impose its will and experience on teams. Rhody had one stud in mcginnis but come on, way too much penetration, not enough push on short yardage even with 2 TE's in the game!Both tackled were beaten off the edge in footspeed!
RB: C, Not a huge part of the gameplan. Not much room for Bailey to run, Some decent blitz pick ups but this wasnt on the RB's.
WR: B+, Lemon ran a 4 yd out in the flat all day and did get open on the corner route only to be badly missed, Chew was great at getting deep and catching the ball as usual. Great grad Anchione!!! Solid group! Would have liked to have seen west and Flemming by now with some experience going into USC. Some needed size at this position.
TE: D, Well Stevens keeps Provo from failing here. Stevens got open and is gracefull catching the ball. I have said for 2 years now that Provo is below average and continues to have feet for hands. Any TE in this system is gonna catch 30-40 balls by default and thats all that Provo is.
D-LINE, C, Not enough pressure until late by this group. With our athletes up from we should have beaten the Rhody line with raw footspeed. There was just not enough penetration and containment of the QB. Marinovich is alot of hype at this point.
BACKERS, B, Like this group and for an inexperienced group played well and flew sideline to sideline. Not an A because of their inability to stop the QB when the play broke down. Why were we not spying this guy?
CORNERS: B, Coverage better but lack of holding the corner on run plays on the outside kept this group from an A.
SAFETIES: A, Shamarko may be the best and most sure tackler in SU history. All over the field and players crumble! Philip had 2 picks and this group is our strength!
SPECIALS: Raupers took a step back. We should be beating a team like Rhody to the edge with raw speed and athleticism and it didnt happen! Though we might break a punt or kick return. Love Kobena, natural runner. Is the fact the specials are being coached by committee a problem. No dedicated coach scheming here?
