If heās watching the tape on Maurer heāll go with a 4 man rush and try to identify the primary receiver on the play (donāt they always?). Maurer doesnāt go deep in the progression, which isnāt surprising for a freshman, and he had a hard time against Georgia (something like 1-10 for 0 yards and an interception for one stretch) when they figured it out.Blitz, blitz, blitz and oh did I mention blitz
Coming off a bye week plus he has tape on Maurer. Add to that a likely desire to make a statement to UT and our fans, and I'd guess he will have MSU looking all world on defense.
UT better find a running game to take the pressure off Maurer. I'd hate to think we have to throw it 30-40 times on Saturday. If we do, Maurer might not make it through the game in one piece.
You donāt correct 4.5 a carry in a week.
Shoop might want to make a statement but itād be in his best interest to play good pass defense and not give up chunk plays...
They havenāt played anyone like Jennings and are 98th in pass defense. Iām sure with a steady mix of Chandler/Gray Tennessee will do well.
