Having an accurate QB in college is a cheat code because the windows are simply so much bigger. I know the wind was a factor yesterday, but look how many inaccurate passes Reed threw that could have been completions. This is where Taint kills you because you can’t cover their WRs and their QB is deadly accurate. Our chance in this game is by pressing Sayin. If you give him time to throw the ball from clean pockets to JJ and Tate, you’re dead. But we have the best DL they’ve seen all year, so we have a shot.
But no, it’s absolutely not a better matchup because Reed sucks. Sayin doesn’t. I have been saying though I’m very interested to see how our offense plays. I think it’s a better matchup for Beck because he’s not going to be playing in a hurricane with 100k people screaming at him. Taint also doesn’t rush the passer as well as A&M does. I think we’ll have opportunities to throw the ball form clean pockets, in a dome, in a reasonably comfortable environment.
Everyone, myself included, said Beck didn’t need to play his BEST game to beat A&M, he just needed to play clean. And we were right. Clean isn’t good enough to beat Taint. We’re not holding them to 3 points. Beck has to play his best game for us to win. And I think he’ll have a chance to. My biggest concern is can we get open against their DBs? Beck and Dawson, this is your game. We need 20+ to win. 10 ain’t gonna cut it.
