Desmond Howard is a complete clown of an analyst. He just said that Colorado is going to stack the box and make Huntley beat them with his arm. He has been beating PAC-12 team’s asses all season with his arm. Not to mention that a stacked box hasn’t done much to contain Moss all season. Desmond Howard makes his comments as though Huntley isn’t one of the highest rated quarterbacks in the country.
Isn’t that what a defensive focus typically is? Stopping the run? Moss can’t be arm tackled and has tons of yards after contact. I don’t know why fans get so bent out of shape by comments made by media members. Stacking the box, in this case, seems like a decent strategy to make the offense more one dimensional.
This is the classic/uninformed take of anyone who hasn’t watched Utah this season. It’s based on years of evidence that stacking the box to take away the run against Utah will cause the offense to sputter. That has been the case until Huntley stepped into his own in the last season and a half and certainly the case since the Huntley/Ludwig combo.
Make Huntley beat you? Sign me up, because he will.
