I also don't understand why Dortch does not get the ball more. Not comparing their talents, but he is our version of Percy Harvin. At UF, they would force feed the ball to him every way possible. Seems like any involvement of Dortch is within the flow of the offense, rather than specifically running plays to him. There ought to be ways to get him the ball in space and force defender to make individual plays.
If only we had a TE who could operate in the middle of the field.
My biggest gripe offensively is we rarely if ever use the middle of the field in the passing game. One of the announcers a few weeks back mentioned it too. Just seems like defending the out patterns with little concern for the middle of the field frees up the safety to concentrate on the run game.
The GT drive and field goal at the end of the first half was the snowball. The Deacon clown act to start the second half was the release. The following GT one play for a TD possession was the mountain. All downhill from there. Lousy offensive execution. Lousy defensive execution.. Lousy coaching. Lousy final score. Truly a team effort in a 25-3 second half butt kicking.
The truly sad part is that I told my brother in law that if GT scored in the final minute of the first half this would happen.
Don't you want to see Dortch involved in the running game?
The Serigne MIA question is one that ought to be posed to Clawson on Tuesday by one of our fearless journalists.
