Why did King not keep more on RPO?

I really hope that’s by design and not his move...bc there were at least 10 times he could have kept for 10+ yards

 

[Mackmiller974]

I'm guessing they told him not to keep it. He's got good vision so I doubt he missed that many reads unless it was on purpose

 

[ageezy]

yeah, he misread quite a few reads

 

[TexasCane90]

Really think they didn’t wanna get him hurt...

If your that scared should have put Perry in or score another **** TD

 

[canesplaymaker]

I think they told him to stop running towards the end of the game

 

[Timmy T-Bags $$$]

I agree I was ****inbefuddled about that

 

[prg3Kane]

Those plays trigger anyone's PTSD besides mine?

 

[Biggramm]

I wondering the same thing! He was open a few times!

 

[NC_Canes_11]

They had to tell him not to keep it. He looked frustrated on a couple, like he new he had 30 yards of empty grass in front of him.

 

[Sigma_Cane_7]

I’m wondering that myself. Clearly the line wasn’t opening the hole and the Ends crashed down every single time. I do know that Lash opened that playbook when it was 17-14. To me he was trying to keep Vanilla but WRs we’re still being coached by Dugans and had no separation.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

He blocked, launched himself in the air, and ran himself. I doubt they wanted him doing any more running and risking injury the last quarter.

 

[JBCanes-NC]

That’s a high school run game. He was handing the ball to the rb, he didn’t have the option to keep.

 

[miamicanephins]

It was by design to get the oline work.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Trash Offensive gameplan besides Kings ability to make plays....

 

[Brains]

Because he's going to get killed if he keeps the ball every play.

Not an rpo it's a zone read.

7 years this has been discussed.

Several occasions he could have kept, but doesnt hurt to hand it off ever.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

I really hope it was on purpose because we looked anemic out there

 

[johnnytsunami01]

I doubt it was on purpose, Perry came in and twice kept the ball on the read. One time a good read the second horrible.

Why would you purposely neuter your offence?

He keeps it, the drive keeps going, we score more points and get the backups more time. It also opens things up for the RBs as EVERYONE on defence isn't just lining up to take a shot at them.

I'm not buying the argument that we didn't want him to get hurt - he ******* blocked a guy downfield and leapt into the endzone tonight. I'm also not buying that we didn't want to put it on film - it's a simple zone read, we're not going to surprise Louisville next week when King keeps it!
