[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 568176, member: 4015"] I loved watching Marshall play, and the passion he brought to the game is undeniable but he was extremely limited in what he could do. He was a marginal passer and seemed to have trouble making the right reads at times on the various option plays. It should be noted that most teams had begun to sell out in flooding the lanes to take away the pitch. We were reduced to a fullback dive and quarterback keeper team and that is NOT what option football is about. By then the offense was not an equalizer. Teams were run blitzing with safeties and outside backers with impunity knowing we could not get separation and take advantage of a wide open middle of the field. Teams that tried that strategy with JT5 soon found out that corners matched against Smelter and Waller were bound to get burned. Coach Johnson's offense worked best when there was at least one wide receiver that could repeatedly beat one on one coverage and had A backs like Orwin, Roddy, and AA who could break arm tackles and explode into the secondary. Last year we did not have either of those attributes and teams could take away the pitch and the deep throws. [/QUOTE]
