Have you seen our OL?
We can pass protect better than run in the RPO because it’s usually 3 step drop and a pass. When we run, it’s slower developing and the DE’s crash in and tackle the rb.
Set up in the “I”, snap it and hand off, let the rb do his thing with time rather than be tackled the second he touches it.
When they do that, the QB is supposed to keep the ball. He's had dozens of free runs of at least 5-10 yards (including several in the Miami game), but refuses to run or can't make a simple read. I cannot stress enough how simple this read is.
FSU does not need to abandon its offense midseason. The QB needs to make better reads (I've lost hope for DF in this regard), and the backs need to do a better job of finding holes (they were better against Miami than they have been all year). Despite being without our only good OL (has only played the first half against VT and against UL), the line somehow looked... not horrible against Miami.
Given DF's inability to read, I can only think of one solution: call "RPOs" that are actually designed QB runs about 20% of the time. Once he sees how many easy yards he's leaving on the field, maybe he'll start taking them. If not, he's either too scared or too retarded to play QB in this system.
