11/26 First round playoffs

Post by Prodigal Cat » Sat Nov 26, 2022 11:39 am

Matt McKay struggling. Looks a lot like he looked at the end for the Cats. Missing throws, runs only when it’s his last option.

He looks good with a decent pocket. But his OTs are bad and Furman is collapsing the pocket quickly.

He looks tentative l. Watched him run on a 4th and 1 and it looked like he just didn’t want to get hit. I’m still rooting for him but both those teams look like their is a pretty big gap in talent from top 6 of the big sky.

You can really see why the griz's defensive scheme completely flustered him last year.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here & say that the CAA isn't very good this year. McKay was always at least an average FCS QB, but a weak CAA made McKay look like a world beater.

I'm thinking you are correct here.

Plus McKay hasn't been known as a guy who thrives under pressure.

I'm not sure 223 passing YPG are world beater numbers. His TD - Int ratio is about the same as it was last year. He's been good, not great and Elon's D has won them some games.

Probably an accurate statement.

I'll give McKay this, he seems to know how to pick teams with a defense good enough to carry him and make him look good or better than he is.


If you're looking for someone with a little authority, I'm your man. I have as little as anyone!

I don’t think that is his objective. I think his objective was just to play football. I think he has a bit of a problem with shell shock and needs to be coached to his strengths. Outside of those strengths he really struggles

Passing yards per game is a meaningless stat. He’s #11 on n passing efficiency which is what actually matters in measuring QB effectiveness.

But he did it against a pretty pedestrian batch of defenses.

I've actually thought he looks good today. Doesn't have great pocket presence but has made some really nice throws and had some nice runs. Couple drops and a poor offensive line is really hurting Elon.

14-7. Not a ton of defense among these teams in the SDSU quadrant.

Furman came in with 5 or 6 sacks on the year according to the announcer

Fordham hasn't played any D all year. The only chance they have of winning is scoring 45+
