For the most part the offense was playing down hill until Rolo took his foot off the gas pedal. CSU couldn’t find a way to bring pressure while not giving up the shovel passes or stopping Cole from hurting them with his legs. Cole got into his comfort zone early and stayed there.

Rolo’s game plan and play calling should be interesting now that he knows Navy has game film to break down to prepare their defense. I suspect Navy’s planning to bring pressure and try to speed up Cole’s decision making. They know they can’t give Cole 3-4 seconds to pass like CSU did while still keeping him from breaking contain.

It was a “pick your poison” option for Colorado State’s defense so the slot receivers were targeted more. I think once we see all the different receivers and running backs in action we may see specificly designed routes and plays for anyone who’s
specific skillet is mismatched, like Coach Jones employed. Hard to prepare for everything. Just the protection packages have to be on point. Wait until it’s Jojo Ward’s time to be “highlighted”, good luck preparing for that. And Armstrong-Brown made a nice play with his opportunity. Going to be fun to watch them figure things out. Terrific.

While I was a bit dubious about returning to the quasi R&S, there are some real advantages that play in our favor.

First, there is no film on this team with the RnS offense, thus making it difficult to prepare and identity tendencies. Two, and similar to point number one, there is no film on our QB, and since he is a legitmate dual threat, especially with his outing last week, they (opposing teams), have to be able to defend both the threat of both run and pass. Three, the RnS, allows us to highlight some skilled positions, especially at receiver, which might be off-set, in a more traditional offense. And finally, since the RnS went out of fashion, several years ago, many teams, akin to those that still employ the triple option, are not use to defending such an offense—making it a very time intensive.

Now, as time goes on, folks will eventually catch up to the idiosyncrasies of this offense, but we do have a definite advantage during the first half of the season, and I hope we can capitalize on that before they get on the learning curve….
