and the routes they run are the same routes play after play.....way too basic and simple.

When we do run a crisscrossing route between two players they were all on,but once on the Syracuse sideline side of the field and with in the first two or three yards. Only once when we had 4 receivers the two sets run a crisscrossing routes two to three yards off the line,nothing down field.

For most of the plays the inside receiver,usually the T.E./H.B. runs a 4-5 yard inside curl,the next guy runs about a 8 yard curl and the outside runs about a 12 yard curl when we have trips to one side.

I have been thinking about this over the last few days as the routes seemed to be the same old,same old.

Occasionally we would curl the outside receiver about 3 yards behind the inside receiver spot on the field here he lined up.

I really think there needs to be major changes in the routes the receivers run from here on out, but do we have the speed to do them is another thing.

plus I noticed our L.B. like to thump running backs like the undersized corners do as Radcliffs 14 yard T.D. run Dysawn Davis put a light shoulder into him and bounced off without even attempting to rap up and Hodge was the same way on other plays.

Can a defensive player go into the endzone and comeback out and down a punt like the L'ville player did as he was the first to touch it at the one. I thought there was a rule against that .

Yes, as long as they come back out and touch with both feet before the touch the ball.

Good points on the WR routes- I don't think SU has done a good job consistently scheming guys open. Hoping this is the biggest change moving forward.
 
in college its the ball and nothing else matters.. you can have your whole body laying in the endzone and touch the ball to hold it out. not sure that ball didnt cross the line though as the ref was blocked out on the play.

our WR routes and separation are terrible most of the time.. even so we had guys open all over, we had the RB uncovered multiple times and Hunt forced throws into coverage. and we always miss the deep ball for a td..
