I thought D'No blitzed quite a bit including the drive Nebraska ended up tying the score. I blame Howard on bad coverage, especially the 2 point play where he has his back completely turned away from the ball.
once again, that's how they're taught in practice.
you say that and yet corn has no problem attacking guys in coverage so they just say it to corn but not tracy? same with artie? deon?
no, artie got caught doing it several times Saturday. Even his int had more to do with armstrong throwing a horrible pass. When have you seen a scenario where bush has turned around to find the ball? not sure why you included him as he's rarely in position to faceguard or locate the ball. his' picks have either been off of tipped passes or playing over the top. corn is corn. guy just plays his as off. before thinking i'm just talking crap, go back and watch the practice videos of williams working with the dbs in redzone defense and try to tell me he doesn't have all of them faceguard. why is this so hard to believe? it's the conservative mentality. in some ways faceguarding is the safer when to play the ball in the air and our coaches love being safe and hope the other team just makes mistakes.
there we go its because the player is good and not the coaches, you know corn didn't really come in as a corner, and bush has made plenty of plays not because of tipped passes, and I've been to practices first hand and their drills are just the same as any other schools
there is a drill where they practice faceguarding in endzone situations. i've seen. and didn't say bush didn't make plenty of plays, i said he's never had a pick where he had to turn around and find the ball. that's what this discussion was about right? and yes elder is pretty darn good and appears to be a big student of the game to make the transition. but even elder hasn't had much success in the specific skill we're both referring to. that was his first pick and it was as bad pass.
