Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 36524, member: 19"] Offenses that throw the ball up for grabs usually aren't all that successful. In the Pitt game, there was a TD to Shanahan that next day everyone said he's so physical. Because we tried to bump him and it didn't work, then he was open and caught the pass in stride. Devin Street's big play, threw to him on a quick out, got a good block from a physical WR, and watched him outrun everyone on our team. Maybe I'm not thinking of throwing the ball up for grabs the same way you are. When I saw what Rutgers was doing, it made me think of Miami 1994 with Frank Costa. He had a weak arm but huge receivers so they would just throw it up and watch Yatil Green and others come down with it about 30-4o yards down field. I don't see a lot of that from the successful college offenses. I see more of getting guys out into space and passes that either hit them in stride or hit them sitting in a soft spot in the zone.
