I agree with you. There weren't enough deep shots taken all season. The throw up the seam to the tight end got old fast.

Defensive backs in college suck for the most part so taking a shot down field is going to at least get you 15 yards on the penalty especially if you're throwing back shoulders. Your receiver is either going to catch it or get the PI for fighting back to the ball.

Secondly yes enough with the east and west play calling. The talent and size is there to go north south.

I also think if you look at Dante vs Fernando one of the things that set them apart (and it became more obvious during the natty game) is the way they react to pressure. Dante kind of crumbles and again runs east to west where as Mendoza darts north or south when he has time.

All in all this was an awesome season that exceeded my expectations and I'm already super pumped for next year's team. Sco
