    From last year, I knew we threw to Sean Asiata, but wasn't that on earlier downs? Was he even in the game on 3rd and long?
    The advantage is that the back can chip the end or blitzing outside backer, then slide out onto the space that the Blitzer just occupied.

    The real advantage of having both back there is that help is available on either side. If they don't read that they need to help, they can bleed out. Against man coverage, the safety will have to respect them and will have to pull up, leaving room deep for the receiver or open up the middle for the tight end. If the backer takes him, them the tight end in the hook/curl is open. Against zone, the corner will have to roll up, opening a crease behind them for the receiver to work.

    Ultimately, they don't need to be the primary receiver in the flat, but the defense will need to respect them, which should give more room for other players to work.

      Sorry if that post is clunky. It is so much easier to explain on a whiteboard

          That's the official video?? That last bit of audio surprises me.

            Yeah, I don't the U itself would add that snarky little bit. I was using "official" in the CUF sense. I don't know who High Point Media is. Looks like they made the video. No official U of U credits that I can see.

                Lol. Someday maybe we'll grow up and see our routs of our rival as ho-hum events, just like you guys do.

                      is that little dig at the end preferable to showing video highlights of all 7 Turnovers?

                        I do not believe that is the "official" video.

                        I think it's one that's gone viral.

                        There are several like this floating around.

                        I saw it posted on UteZone by someone who claimed to have made it.

                            Yep. It was a PAC12 conference game. How'd you folks do in the Big 12?

                              We went 0-1, after fading down the stretch against Texas.

                              It was epic, really.

                                I'd be OK with that.
