The Offense: 2023 vs 2024

[Tuco Salamanca]

yep. Sims had a 50+ yard play against CU.

HH accounted for at least 3, as well, including two 70+ yard touchdowns.

that 7 number is low, because Josh Fleeks (remember him?) also had a 50+ yard run. we had 2 50+ yard plays against Michigan alone.

Also on pass plays both the receiver and the QB get credit for them in individual stats, so it will look like more.

formatting is wonky, but looks to me like there's 12 40+ yard plays here?

sounds right.

then it is poorly worded because it states they are 10+ etc.. that would lead me to believe that the is the total number of plays greater than 10 yards, not just plays 10-19 yards.

But what about the terminology?

Those changes are more common than ever now, college QBs are expected to handle it and I think for the most part they do just fine. It would be a very low concern with Dylan.

here's the game log:

@minn - zero 40+ yard plays
@CU - 1 50+ yard run (sims), 1 40+ yard run (r johnson)
vsN ILL - none
vsLa Tech - 1 70+ yard run (HH), 1 40+ yard run (HH)
vsMich - 1 50+ yard pass (Marcus Washington), 1 70+ yard run (Fleeks)
@ILL - none
vsNW - 1 40+ yard pass (Coleman)
vsPur - 1 70+ yard pass (Lloyd), we also had a 68 yard FG Blk return
@Sparty - 1 40+ yard run (HH)
vsMD - none
@wisc - 2 50+ yard plays (purdy run, Lloyd catch)
vsIowa - 1 60+ yard pass (Lloyd)

12 total 40+ yard plays, 4 50-60 yard plays, 1 60-70 yard play, 3 70+ yard plays.

and 1 additional 60+ yard play on special teams.

tell that to Rhule, who laughed at the notion of staff changes ahead of the season, citing terminology as a chief reason why.

agree.

a 70+ yard play would be counted in all of those categories.

this year's game log:

vsUTEP - 1 40+ yard run (E Johnson), 1 50+ yard catch (Neyor)
vsCU - none
vsUNI - 1 50+ yard catch (Lloyd)
vsILL - 1 40+ yard catch (Neyor)
@PUR - none
vsRUT - none
@IU - none
@OSU - none

a significant decline in explosive plays overall, just 1 single 40+ yard run all year so far

last year we averaged exactly 1 40+ yard play per game. this year, it's been cut in half to 0.5 40+ yard plays per game.

I think this is what you are referring to.

yep.

"I'm not doing that, it's ridiculous"

perfect.

Ya gotta say something for the fans. I almost never listen to a press conference of any coach. They’re 99% meaningless. The important notes, injuries, etc. will get spread around quickly enough for me. The way Rhule speaks has never moved the needle for me. It is strictly his record for reviving programs.

Keeping his OC last offseason was a lot more understandable than it will be this year. The regression throughout this year will be the nail in the coffin.

in other words, you agree with the moniker "Preacher"

funny.
