[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 357542, member: 1929"] Yeah it really hammered home how bad a sloppy field is for us. First of all, we were not willing to run the option and risk putting the ball on the ground. But more importantly our blocking schemes rely on a lot of pulling, getting to the second level, creating angles, etc. So much harder to do that with sloppy footing. The counter for TQM where Parker slipped in a puddle and the DE(?) ran Taquon out of bounds looked to me a sure touchdown or at least big gainer if that block is made. Really, the block didn't need to be made. If Parker didn't slip when he did he would have been able to make the defender commit to a pursuit angle in order to defeat the block such that, even if he did, Taquon would have been able to evade him instead of trying to string it out to the edge. On a better field, he might have done a spin or some other move and won anyway. Not having Kirvonte was a big deal, though. Although I am more than happy to have QW spell Kirvonte, the leg drive in the hole that KB has is something special. 2 extra yards in the slop is a big huge deal. Jerry might have been able to do more, but I really doubt throwing a true freshman into those conditions with the lead was anywhere near Paul's mind. [/QUOTE]
