Griz versus Cal Poly

[cats2506]

I sure hope the griz fans shut up about how innovative Stitt is by going for it on 4th down.

it was never the 4th down that was innovative. I don't know who is saying that but it's not the case.

griz fans taught us that last week.

Here's some innovatation:

Poly was 4-6 on 4th down conversions
Griz were 0-3

But but but when was the last time you saw a team go 4-6 on 4th down in a game?! Innovation!!

Did Poly ever huddle, so innovative

It was a good game. Even though the Griz lost, I have to say watching the triple option is a guilty pleasure for me. I thought the Griz D played over all well enough to win, and especially made some big plays in the second half. On the other hand the Poly QB didn't seem to want to pitch very much. That was understandable later in the game when it was raining, but early on I was a bit puzzled. I thought stretching the defense a few times might have really got things going for them. The fullback dive was working pretty well for them though, so who am I to argue.

The Griz offense showed the downside of that sort of scheme. The Griz were lousy in the red zone last year, and they might end up being worse this year. Hopefully they figure out a few good scoring plays that work a bit more consistently. I would be happier with a power football type of offense, but I can see a few glimmers of why Stitt likes this offense.

Hats off to Poly; I didn't give them much of a chance with getting the ball with little time and no timeouts in the rain being an option team, but they did what they needed to do.

Do you think that not implementing tight ends and full backs hurts their red zone chances?

Well they can't run the ball, that's for sure

Of course I think it is easier to run out of power formations with a big running back and an bigger fullback, but that just isn't who the Griz are going to be. So Stitt needs to figure out some plays that will work for touchdowns in the red zone, because right now it really isn't working. The fact is, if the offense is running 92 plays in a game, but only scoring 17 points, so there is a pretty serious problem with finishing the drives. Clearly the Griz had the ball enough to score a lot more. It might be that the Griz just need to develop more big play capabilities and not focus on the red zone, rather than just dink and dunk down the field to a place where they are almost completely feckless.

After watching these last 2 games, its getting so that I really like it when they get a big play but get tackled inside the 10, because they cant seem to get it in the endzone from inside the 10.

they didn't. but it's not innovative because they didn't go for it on 4th 5 times and get a first down each time. THAT is innovative....

they were 4/6 on 4th down and didn't ever huddle, I thought that was the threshold for being innovative

[catscat]

4 for 6 on 4th down and no huddle was indeed the innovation threshold last week! Personally, I believe CP exceeded the threshold because fewer of their 4th down conersions were of the last drive, you have to go or lose variety.
