Congrats on your first article, [USER=1151]FreakTalksAboutSU[/USER]

With respect to this take in your article: "Why? Is it because [URL='https://insidetheloudhouse.com/2020/09/16/syracuse-football-qb-tommy-devito-needs-step-game-can/']Tommy DeVito[/URL] is unable to make the other throws? My hunch says he can make them, but I don’t see him in practice. Or, on the other hand, is the coaching staff simply refusing to call those passing plays for him?"

There are other reasons for what you described other than the QB or play calling. Every defense we faced was able to control the LOS and the running game using a very lite box (using 5-6 guys), or by overwhelming the OL on passing downs or, for that matter [B]any time[/B] they wanted. This allowed the D to take away the running game, the screen game, and most of the mid-range of the "tree" (not sure DB uses a passing tree concept, but that's a different discussion).

If you have to max protect to allow routes to develop, you often have 2-3 receivers playing against 5 or 6 defenders. Hard to call plays, or make throws, into that mismatch.
