[QUOTE="robbroyy, post: 2627814, member: 3272"] Iowa States whole defensive scheme is to prevent the deep ball. They don’t do a ton of blitzing so they flood the zones with a 3-3-5 cover 3. Basically their scheme relies on the QB to make intermediate pass after intermediate pass. We know that’s not SR’s strong suit except for his last pass to Reagor which I think may have been his best all season. The game plan obviously was not to have him force the throws he did vs Texas. So when you can’t make intermediate throws and Iowa States whole goal is to prevent the deep ball, it’s hard to move the ball. They finally did on the drive ending in a fumble by using the ground game and tunnel screens. A more seasoned QB would be able to make more throws but the coaches wanted Robinson to keep his confidence up in his passing game. Asking him to rely on 8-10 yard passes over the middle would have been dangerous for his psyche. It was a smart game plan because there wasn’t the fear of Iowa State doing much offensively so they didn’t need to force the ball. Before complaining about the stat line, look into reasons why.
