1 – Taylor’s ability to get one on one matchups. It’s fantastic. The way he can spread a defense out, then he really attacks the LB/S. Puts them on islands then allows his WR’s to make plays. This is one area that our offense has struggled with this spring, because instead of having LB/S’s on the field, we can run 4 CB’s out there. But, he still gets a ton of one on one matchups. It’s amazing to watch.
2 – Troy Williams has been the best QB this spring. You can argue that Bateman has been #2. So, why is Huntley #2 and not Bateman?
Huntley looks like a Troy Taylor QB. What Huntley can do with his feet and the run/pass options Taylor like to run…It’s so dangerous. You have a play that starts out as a QB/HB option play. The QB keeps the ball and then pulls it up and throws it. Or, there are a lot of times where the QB makes one read on the pass then runs. BUT, EWU’s QB would make the first pass read, pull it down, start to run and as the LB comes up he would throw it over the LB’ers head for a big gain. So, the play went pass, run, pass. How do you defend that?
I’m starting to wonder with Bateman playing so well lately if they will let Huntley loose on Saturday (I hope so). Let him play a majority of the snaps, get experience and really ingrain him and give him a chance to go into the fall tied for the starter spot with Williams. If Huntley can get the pass part down of the offense…we become so dangerous then.
It’s fun to watch. It’s such a different offense. It’s like Leach’s pass heavy offense had a wild night with Kelly’s run/spread offense and this is their baby. It’s a Air Raid offense full of run options. Or, it’s an Oregon Duck offense full of pass options.
