4th and 14 different angle...

8 is guarding the FSU wide receiver COACH. No joke that is who he is covering in that (I hesitate to call it a scheme) scheme.
 
In college, you can continue to make contact with the receiver as long as the ball is not in the air, you’re not asking for a true re-route in that situation, but you need to move your feet to make the receiver adjust his route or get a quick hand on him. The goal is to disrupt timing so it’s not a pitch and catch. Letting a man cross your face untouched is criminal. Play is 90% on 8 IMO.

23 should have flipped to one with eyes when 2 left his zone and entered Kams.

Zone takes incredible eye discipline which Miami clearly doesn’t have.
If I'm coaching defense there, the moment both those vertical fools cross 8 yards in a 4th and 14, that **** is matchup zone and 8 and 23 are in man on the #1 and #2 WRs in trips.

Let's be real, what we see there is a symptom of kids frozen in their thinking and trying to keep a [stupid] responsibility rather than playing football. If they run that play in the cot**** street, the DBs naturally match up beyond a certain depth. It's f'in insane to watch.

It makes me crazy to even review this because I've helped HS kids running 4.9s communicate these exchanges.
 
@gogeta4 tried to tell us, it was just one WR open, it was several. This view showed Travis had his pick of open WRs w/ 7 yards of grass between them & the closest defender. SMH.

Yup 100%. Complete failure of situational awareness and communication.

I liked the presnap look, had good leverage, the middle of the field was protected. Then once the ball was snapped and every player besides 2, 24 and 28 were flat footed and locked in on the QB I wanted to die.

At the most basic level, they should have done exactly what you said. Just let them be football players. Once they pass a certain level you take them. They try doing a back out of the backfield, #4 is chasing him and we can rally up. I don’t know what Manny or Ivey (if he executed incorrectly) were trying to accomplish by sitting at 8 yards flat footed. How do you not see the QB eyes when you’re staring at him and not roll your coverage or just continue to play the man. The #3 receiver (22) tries doing a 10 yard out or corner, Stevenson takes him and now we have Travis in a low percentage throw against our best cover man.
