RunInRed 16,438 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 That's Auburn 14 UGA 0 if those two plays convert. Probably a different game with that start, no? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's encouraging to me because in every game we've played there have been examples like this. Where the play is there to be made (SEVERAL in the Penn State game, for example). I think we're going to be fine as time goes on and the opportunities continue to present. Edited October 12, 2021 by WDE_OxPx_2010 Typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_M4_AU 7,865 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 On both of these plays it seems Bo’s first read was to throw the ball where he threw it. Because he felt he could make the throw that is where it went. There is no situational awareness with Bo, he seems to want to fire the ball asap. The Shivers throw, as you pointed out, could have gone to Shenker for 6. I don’t know if Bo could have seen something in his pre-snap read to tip him off, but that ball was going to Shivers come high or he11 water. Obviously, UGA knew this and didn’t even cover Shenker. Tendencies…… The TD attempt to Shenker was very much the same thing. Bo thought he could make the throw to Shenker and was confident Shenker could make the catch. Bo didn’t put the ball where Shenker could make an easy catch. I will say Shenker should have made that catch, but the play call allowed Bo to throw to either Shenker or Hunter as they both were in Bo’s line of sight. Again, UGA knew (as the announcer said) Bobo’s tendency was to go to the TE in the red zone. Just because it is the tendency should alert a thoughtful QB to check down to the open receiver for a completion and probably a TD. JMO. The coaches really need to know the SEC defenses are big on tendencies and to switch it up some, but ultimately it is up to the players to make plays. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see PFF's position grades of every player (free board on another site)? If two of your OL were grading that poorly, you'd unload the ball to the first open receiver every play too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also early in the game and the first drive we just marched down the field. The way the game was being played at the time Bo was under control with little or no pressure on him. This is when you try to establish how the rest of the game plays out. The offense was setting the tone and UGA’s defense was playing catchup. This is when you take advantage of that. These two plays could have set the tone for the rest of the game. We will never know. I’m not bashing Bo. Just pointing out how it could have been better. What is going on in Bo’s head is how we play, like it or not. Yes, the pass pro has to be better, but if Bo can torch some defenses without scrambling it may help the OL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he has the accuracy or the receivers to really torch a team in the passing game. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong in a few upcoming games.

I may be wrong though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 @RunInRedthere's plays like this in every game at every level. These plays have been beaten to death by AU fans across the internet. I guess it's nice to think what could have been, but we lost that game at the LOS. BTW, Bo made the correct read on both plays you highlighted and both should have been caught. Is what it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAl_Tiger 228 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 was #5 supposed to "screen" the LB that was going to cover? if so, he did a poor job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that, after three years, Bo has a clock in his head set by his past OL's, and this one as well. He knows the overwhelming majority of the time he won't have time to make more than one read, maybe two on a good down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,679 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The best version of Bo is one that doesn’t have to make too many reads honestly, so I always have to take that trend into account when we see these quick one/two read plays with no pressure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn. that's seems like an odd pattern by #47. usually the receiver is turned to the outside so the throw is opposite the defender. Bo leaning backwards caused the ball to float. cut the route short at the GL and turn to the sideline would have been an easier throw for Bo. i.e. receiver moving side to side as opposed to vertical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MustardSeed Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 So no one even addresses that Shenker was covered by the safety until Bo was clear where he was throwing the ball? Oddly convenient. The safety was moving toward Shenker until Bo went into throwing motion and had Bo looked that way he would have been covered by the time he threw it.

No way. Bo missed that one. I didn't say pre-snap. It was a levels concept and you read it high to low meaning that JSS was the primary target. He's open. That's the correct read.

But Shenker was open in the end zone and is our best pass catcher. The read was spot on here, the throw was off target. The missed opportunity wasn’t Quez, it was ball placement.

When your primary target is open you don’t get to you 3rd/4th read on the opposite side of the field. You throw it to the primary. This analysis could literally be done to every QB ever and be twisted to show how terrible they are by missing the 4th read when throwing it to the 1st as they were supposed to was the right read to start with.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The other play I remarked to was the pass that Sheckner dropped was into traffic. I agree Sheck needs to catch that but go back and look at the play and about 10 feet behind him is Hunter running wide open. Bo could have lobed Hunter the ball and he could have followed Sheck into the end zone. Bo was looking right at him and never saw him. You just can’t miss seeing that as a QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still had part of the first play in my head. On that one, both guys right there I just don't understand how you don't see that as a QB and make the easy throw. I get what you are saying, though.
