Purdue coach throwing shade at Hooker?

Hey if he can pick up 10 yards a throw I'm good with that. West coast anyone.

Funny line I remember from Buddy Ryan about the West Coast offense, he called it the chuck and duck. :)

Eh, they’re consistently the second-best conference. They forget how to play football when they see Orange; other SEC teams are not as consistent against the B1G.

Actually taking out the likes of Nebraska’s old big 8/12 record vs Mizzou and A&M, the SEC has a pretty great record vs the conference including almost 65% winning pct in bowls alone

Just guessing here, as there are many much more informed coaches on the board but I see Purdue playing soft shell coverage to try and keep action in front of them and negate big offensive plays by UT offense.

What say you VolNation Coaching Wizards?

With the speed our wideouts have after the catch I think this would be an unwise plan 😀

In my expert evaluation, you are correct sir. They do not match up well vs The Vols’ size or speed. Short crossing routes, and outs to the flat will be open like Seven Eleven.
Look for them to give a cushion (too much) with safety help over the top to prevent chunk passing plays. They will also try to bring pressure (OLB and CB blitzes) on longer 3rd down situations, but don’t have their best defenders available.
If the Vols can execute on offense at speed, this game may get out of hand in the first quarter.
My two cents.

More than 10 yards isn't exactly a "deep" pass though.

The relevance of 10 yards is that just passes that long or longer we are averaging 2.5 plays to get over 10 yards, so it's sustainable drives. The other bit of that is that we throw deep frequently, so it skews the numbers if you don't separate out the 10-20 yard passes.

While you are technically correct, he is sneaky in his shady. The guy said once he throws past 10 yards he is a 40% passer. Where is he getting this from? Also, do you consider a 15 or 20 yard pass a deep ball? Yes he was complimentary toward us. But make no mistake, he used cleverness to take a shot at Hooker.

Anything past 20 yds is considered deep. Which puts Hooker at 41% but I'll take it because I know he can make most throws.

Hooker isn’t a dink and dunk passer. We’ve had a depleted/injured online that hasn’t given him optimal time to throw, but when he’s had the time he’s been pretty stinking accurate. I think that coach is too focused on numbers that don’t paint the whole picture.

What has been Tennessee's first play from scrimmage every game this year? WR Screen. Let's fake it and go deep on first down. TD.

40% of deep pass completions is still pretty good. Although it seems like he has a much higher percentage than that on deep passes. I guess Purdue will have to find out the hard way like everyone else.

That’s what I was thinking…… 40% on the long ball feels pretty good right? Almost one out of every two you’re hitting…..I’ll take it

Curious what the NCAA cumulative completion % is if you banded out the length of pass……some quick googling didn’t yield me the results I wanted for comparison….but it feels pretty decent to me

This old coach says run the damn ball if coverage is soft.

Its pick your poison. If you play soft on the outside we will throw the ball laterally down the LOS and see if our guys can beat you one on one in the open field. USCe and Missouri tried that and got killed on 12-20 yard chunk plays. Of course it depends on your personnel, but I think a better strategy is to play tight man coverage on the outside with safety help in the middle of the field and make Hooker throw the ball in the "window" before help arrives. Our WR's are good enough to get seperation and if you can hit them in stride before the safety gets over its a 70 yard TD. It takes more time for the play to develop and its a much harder throw to make especially if you can pressure the QB. But I would go tight man coverage and bring alot of stunts and blitzs and hope Hooker doesn't make the right reads consistently and get the ball to the right guy on time and mt pressure gets home for some sacks and alot of 3rd and longs. My preference would be for this Purdue coaches thoughts on our passing game to be moot and we just rush it down their throats for 350 yards and 6 TDs.

Well I certainly hope the Purdue coaches aren’t lurking on this site, since you just gave them the blueprint to shut down our offense!😜
GBO!!

See, now I wanna do more than just beat Purdue. I want Hook to throw for 460 yds and 5 TD’s. Just embarrass that coach to no end.

I didn’t think he was referring to deep passes. He said passes over 10 yards…. Maybe I misunderstood. I agree that I think his completion percentage is higher than 40% on passes over 10 yards. Just basing that on his overall percentage and his efficiency stats. I think he’s looking for anything… Maybe someone can tell him about the other successes Hooker had (not just running and attempts less than 10 yards). Better yet, let his secondary live it firsthand. Their secondary may have success, but I expect Hooker to play well (as he has all season).
