Can someone explain when and why Kenny went from being DT to PP?
I have been suprised by the lack of option plays ran for Hill this
season. I certainly expected him to continue to be successful as a DT
and thought that maybe that was part of the reason he won out over
Allen.
Is it a HS vs SEC thing or Sumlin just doesn't ever intend to run zone read or veer style plays?

Dual threat is not as necessary as you think. You just have to take advantage of the weaknesses in a defense's schemes. Teams are always running nickel against our 4 wide receiver sets, having 6 men in the box against 5 blockers. Unless the Rb can make him miss, we will usually be at a disadvantage running the ball and get only 0-3 yards a pop against good SEC competition. (Unless we have a tight end in the game, which is rare....)
What I was led to believe with our wide receiver recruiting, is that we would have 4 world-beaters out there creating havoc in one-on-one's and preying on linebackers/safeties. In that case we would see more 3-2-6 or dime looks in order to help contain that, making the running game more advantageous for us. But that apparently isn't the case as much as we would like to think.
Add the fact that you need a very accurate quarterback to wheel and deal DOWN THE FIELD, and have solid o-line play.
TL: DR - shouldn't be that hard to recognize why we struggle against the best defenses in the nation. We don't create a lot of disadvantages in the secondary and can't exploit them when we do

Not true. Our RBs averaged 6+ yards per carry against MSU, yet they only had a combined 19 carries, versus 62 pass attempts.
As for OM, it was more due to horrid playcalling than the ability of our RBs or Oline to run north/south. Running Carson sweeps multiple times against one of the fastest defenses in the nation is moronic.

I think yall are just spoiled. This is KH first season as a starter. Last time we started an underclassmen quarterback we won a Heisman so yall assume that will always be the case. When will yall truly realize Johnny's greatness?

How many of us were relieved to see KK leave tt, only to see B.J. Symons followed by Graham Harrell slip into Leach's system without missing a beat?
Kenny & Kyle are far more talented and highly rated quarterback's than either KK, Symons or Harrell (at least coming out of high school)...there's simply no excuse for this.
Sumlin has a serious problem at quarterback's coach!

Peyton's not mobile. He sucks.
As evidenced by his lack of championships.
You were being sarcastic. I'm not.
Well, he has exactly one more championship ring than 99% of the guys who have been starting qb's in the NFL.
quote:Man, I completely forgot about Cody Hodges...another tt quarterback that stepped in and led the nation in passing...one of our most embarrassing losses we ever had to a Leach team.
Graham harrel threw for a lot of yards when he finally got the start after casey hodges, but they still went 7-5 in his season. He got better as he got older.
quote:
The point remains that truly good air raid coaches continually develop system quarterbacks that are completely capable of making an immediate and consistent contribution to offensive production.
quote:Agreed
I see what youre saying man, but they weren't really going against the best of defenses week in and week out either.
quote:I'm a big believer in Kevin Sumlin and perhaps I've been hitting the maroon Kool-Aid a little too hard, but I still feel he's the right man for the job and will find a solution.
And that happens a lot but it isnt necessarily true in all regards, not every successor has been completely capable of immediate and consistent production.
quote:
My question is this.... in an offensive system there is always reads and check downs. Are defenses giving certain looks knowing what the read and check down will be. The thing with JFF was he made stuff up on the fly. Kenny needs to recognize the disguises better.
