The fade route to the corner of the endzone, because 9 times out of 10, the receiver is 6'5'' going against a 5'11'' corner, who has to play with his back to the ball. If properly thrown, this play either ends in a TD or a pass interference call at a 92.3% rate.

What team is on defense?


If its OU it has to be the hook and lateral. That game was full of win.

The key there is "if properly thrown"...the completion percentage of fade routes isn't nearly 90%.

EDIT: and to the question in the thread. It's whatever route Jeff Fuller is running this fall.

If the receiver is way bigger and way faster than you, then it doesn't really matter what route he's running.

the hardest route to defend, and I've been saying this for years, is a come-back when the CB's back is turned.

Almost every CB will have his back turned at some point when you are running a vertical route in man coverage.

When the receiver stops and comes back, he will almost ALWAYS have a huge advantage on the defender.

It's time we start using this a bit more.

The post corner is always tough. Always good to be followed up by a post in. Finish 'em off with a post corner post - a.k.a. the bolt. Just gotta have a little protection for the QB to allow these to work.

Id say route 22. I drive that route all the time and those sorority girls are impossible to defend. Just my opinion.

DBs hate it because the ball keeps changing direction.

The comeback route is the hardest to defend. At least that is what I have heard for years

The hardest route to defend is a double crossing route in the end zone...if executed properly it works perfectly as a legal pick play. If you can essentially block the defender while the ball is being thrown to his guy, he is at a huge disadvantage

Any pass thrown by a Tech quarterback under Leach's watch.

Comeback is hardest to defend... Push the defender up the field and turn around and drive back to the ball

If the comeback was the hardest to defend cornerbacks would cheat to take that away...there is a difference in the offense taking what the defense gives it versus the hardest to defend. If the defender knows what's coming, the comeback is pretty easy to defend. To me, the hardest pass to defend is one that even if you know its coming there isn't a whole lot you can do about it. A pick play in the endzone is near impossible to defend because its a two-on-one scenerio.

Unless it is Buckey running the outside route to the ouside corner of the endzone, the hardest route to defend is the come-back route...
