[QUOTE="Techster, post: 178416, member: 360"] Brian Kelly mentioned he would have two levels of "protection" against JeT, and you could see it on option plays as the safeties would shoot to him and another defender would shoot to the pitch man. This is where a pass play off the triple where the play side AB and WR leaving their blocking assignment would slow the defender's read because they need to make sure JeT isn't passing. Of course, we don't have those plays...it's kind like a packaged run/pass option play Oregon and Baylor uses a lot. JeT played had as bad of a game as I've seen him play since he became "the man". Of course, you could tell the chemistry with his WRs aren't there yet. Losing Smelter and Waller HURT this game. There was one play where JeT was scrambling and instead of breaking to the endzone, Jeune tried to block his guy because he thought JeT was taking off. JeT even motioned him to break up the field into uncovered space. At the same time, JeT needs to hit open guys. Guys were open, like the first long pass to Searcy. You don't get many chances against good defenses, so when you get them you have to hit them. Also, JeT is noticeably thicker this year. I think getting bigger has affects his quickness and explosiveness. He's still quick and explosive, but he's not at the tier he was last year. He's still trying to pull spin and jukes in the backfield he got away with last year, but is getting caught this year because the short space quickness and explosion is no longer there. Haven't seen the tape yet...was fortunate enough to make the game, but those were my early impressions. [/QUOTE]
