...V’Lique Carter, and just got 140 yards on 7 touches from him. Carter was a 3 star DB, and they found a way to use his speed to beat Duke.
Somehow, we can’t find a way to get 5 star freshman Pope any touches. Pitt handed the ball to Carter on sweeps mostly using a version of the Matt Canada offense that he installed prior to leaving.
The scheme and plays make ALL the difference. There’s no reason that with 2 explosive playmakers like Thomas and Pope and even Harley that we can’t get them touches and open up the rest of the run game by making defenses account for them as they motion through the formation.
Some of our dumb fans talk about players not being “ready” or our OL being terrible. Fact is everyone in a busted system looks terrible. Same reason all this dudes who played in Dorito’s defense looked like garbage then looked like good players 6 months later in a system better suited to their talent.
