Much Respect bro!Lib El..
Thank you for posting...always strong words too...
Bubble screens, when executed properly and (as Macho pointed out in another thread) part of an RPO offense, are an easy way to gain chunks of yardage and ease a QB into a rhythm.
Bubble screens, existing independently of a cohesive playbook and called at haphazard times with no bearing on down, distance, rhythm, timing, or opponent tendencies are well-nigh useless.
Thanks for posting! I was at the game, so I hadn't seen the telecast.
Forrest Conoly may be a filthy Nole, but he gave UM serious love in that commentary. Guy seems really cool.
One more nitpicky thing - technically I don't think we were running bubble screens. A bubble screen, IIRC is one where the WR cuts inside and catches the screen on the run. We were running straight-up WR screens most of the night.
