The only BE team that failed to blitz early and often was West Virginia, and they paid for it. Prepared teams knew that they could blitz all day long and they did, and until the QB figures out how to deal with it the blitzing will continue. People blame the receivers and the OL, and they certainly are a factor but after two years I'm pretty certain that the QB has failed to meet expectations in his ability to respond to the blitz.

The QB either needs to avoid the pressure or recognize it and quickly know where the advantage is and take it, and if the advantage is a deep ball then he needs to throw the deep ball with accuracy. A lot of college QBs hit receivers with single coverage who have a step or half-step on the defender. I see none of that. I see other QBs who have a rhythm and an understanding with receivers where they can throw to the back shoulder or under throw and the receiver is on the same page. I like Nassib. He's a solid college QB, but he needs to improve in certain areas. The OL needs to improve too, but imo it's more complicated than just the OL and the OL at SU has improved.
