[QUOTE="dmurdock, post: 245216, member: 381"] The series just before the 4th quarter missed FG by Mercer, the play was right in front of me (3rd row section 123 around 10 yd line) and noticed #6 Simmons lining up on a receiver at the LOS. Decided to watch that matchup rather than following the ball like I usually do. They went at Simmons the next 3 plays. First play was a pass along the sideline. It looked like the receiver had a step on Simmons, but he disrupted the receiver enough at the LOS to throw off the timing of the route and the ball was overthrown. Second play, same receiver ran a crossing route over the middle. Pretty much the same result as the first play; receiver looked to have a step on Simmons but timing was off and ball was thrown too far in front of him. Mercer switched receivers and tried a WR screen with the slot back coming out to block Simmons and the receiver cutting in behind the block for the pass. Don't remember if the pass was incomplete or was covered well from inside but they ended up with 4th down and the missed FG attempt. Whole reason I noticed this was because so many posters on here complain about us giving too much cushion at the snap. Not sure if this had anything to do with the coaches wanting to see what Lamont Simmons, the USCw transfer, could do or if this was more of a down/distance/field position decision by the coaching staff. Would be interesting to see a video review by one of our knowledgeable posters, that is if Simmons was visible on camera. [/QUOTE]
