Driggers is not the one for 4th and 1. What happened to the QB keepers?

On short yardage QB has to be under the center. Awful play call and with Driggers running so high he can’t be our short yardage guy?

Offense is a mess but has a lot of potential.

Call me outdated, but having a fullback for short yardage situations would be nice. Now of course, if you can’t figure out which side to hand the ball off to, it doesn’t matter. But still.

Way too much QB swapping. The me, Smith needs to be in more.

Credit to the defense. I don’t think Mercer is taking full advantage of their passing game, but part of that could be the play of our secondary. Definitely seems to be the strength of this team.
On offense, I was worried about not having a good replacement for Powell at RB. Well, I’m still worried. I’d also like to see a few more passes downfield, instead of just short underneath stuff. The offense just seems uncomfortable, which is strange considering it’s Dearmon’s specialty.
Time of possession could be the deciding factor in the second half. Need to keep the D off the field as much as possible. And need to convert 3rd downs on offense.
Still, we’re hanging with a Top 25 team. Hope it’s a sign of what’s to come.

That’s why they moved Cummings….maybe he just isn’t ready to block yet? We haven’t thrown it to our big TE yet? He is beast too. The smallest guy out there is playing big, 14 has made quite a few catches. Short yardage is the difference, our oline is weak at Tackle and has cost us three first downs. Put the TE on the edge to help seal it since our tackle isn’t strong enough to handle a linebacker. If we score opening drive and get the lead that may tighten Mercer up a bit.
