Wrong again. They haven’t fully prepared Carney fully to run the offense. That’s the driving factor that led them to put Collins back in. It would be coaching malpractice to have him run specific plays for the first time in a game. It’s a perhaps subtle, but distinct difference regarding the trust factor.
“The call sheet that we had set for him wasn’t really meant for 3rd-and-9,” Brown said.
Brown was then asked how much of the offense Carney can run right now.
“Not much,” he said. “We’re in the developmental point of it when it comes to the young quarterbacks and the things of that nature. There’s a lot that we’re trying to do and trying to get rolling, and we’ll get it back. It’ll work. it takes time.”
Luke Carney replaced Rickie Collins in the third quarter as Syracuse continued to look for answers on offense.
