[QUOTE="Yaller Jacket, post: 252765, member: 705"] I wonder sometimes how Coach Johnson deals with the frustration of his offense messing things up. A caller asked for some examples of "missed assignments," since Johnson is always talking about them. Coach says okay, here's one. We are playing a freshman at guard who hasn't had much playing time. Ordinarily he blocks a certain way, but in this case someone lines up right across from him. At the snap, he goes after the guy he usually takes leaving the defender across from him a clear lane. The defender runs in and gets to Justin before he can do anything. The guard had to know that when someone lines up right in front of you, he becomes your responsibility. Meanwhile, we have a guy running totally uncovered, 15 yards behind the defense. If we can get him the ball, it's a touchdown. He tells this in his usual laconic, matter of fact way. But imagine that he has carefully set this play up. From what he has seen of the defense, he's pretty sure if he calls this play now no one will pick up the A back or whoever it was. He sees his call is perfect, but then he sees the missed assignment. It is a wonder he doesn't have Bobby Knight breakdowns in games and start throwing chairs. [/QUOTE]
