      Don’t play 10 yards off on 3rd and 10 and let them come to you. They don’t even have to create separation. You’ve given it to them.

      ALso, why can’t we seem to run that same play?

      Yeah I can’t remember a season where we were ever converted on 3rd and long as much defensively as this year.

        Seriously. Seems like we are always giving the offense the easy conversion. The 3 yard slant on third and 3. The 8 yard completion in space on third and 9

      Why is there always a wide open guy in the endzone on goal situations?? Is it because Utahs scout team stinks in the Red zone as well?

        Air Raid always has people open. The QB has time to check down and find the open man, and they always seem to have sure hands. Leach is funny-weird and unconventional, but he is a hell of a great developer of passing/receiving talent.

        When he benched Falk this season, the backup still put up huge passing numbers. The system is very good at finding openings in the D for dink-and-dunk yardage gains.
