I love that they threw it in that spot, it was a great call. But the throw was not exactly a thing of beauty. Almost missed a wide open BSF, who made a great catch going back for the ball. More snaps means more experience and more confidence though. It's good that someone is getting some snaps, regardless of the situation.
Agree that the toss wasn't a thing of beauty but he threw it and our guy caught it for a TD. I, too, would like to see more passing from Cole. He was very accurate in HS, particularly on bootlegs off of running formations..
I wasn't suggesting a swap out of Morgan. I think Kramer would be very effective if allowed to run a true RPO other than in the red zone. The play fake resulting in the long TD run was an example. Cole was a very good ball handler in a deceptive run heavy HS offense.
One thing Sanford (Fleck) has done well is to develop Kramer's wildcat package gradually. We can expect more of it and more passing the second half of the season.
I have a hard time believing Kramer is playing in front of annexstad
Already is.
Last yr if tanner got hurt, Seth would not be taking all the snaps...annexstad would have.
I agree with this. Kramer is in for some very specific situations.
Martinez would have led the gophers '13-16 to the B1G title game at least twice
That’s true. Unfortunately either Jerry could ID qb talent or could not convince the kids to come to the u. I did not violate the C&D because I mentioned no past qb by name.
You're probably right -- it's much more likely that he would have been another Walter Payton award runner up
We did once this year didn't we?
Kramer averaged under 85 yards per game and a completion % in the low 60s…in high school. Not exactly lighting up the world as a thrower.
It was for a kneel-down.
Since you have Kramer's passing stats, what was EP's per game rushing average, 300 +/-? He did not have to throw like many of the contemporary spread/RPO QB's who aired it out as their primary team offense. My recollection is that he was north of 70% completion rate his senior year. The point I tried to make originally in this thread is that the fake on the long 56 yd TD pulled three Nebraska defenders as a result of his prior runs and his option TD pass. They had to pay attention to him in that sequence and it allowed our OL to open up the gates for the long run .
That's my point. We were within 1-2 games in 3 of those seasons of making the title game with an even iffier drop back passing game. I love Mitch and all he gave to the university -- but I think Adrian could run the Kill/Limey offense better and thus get over the Wisconsin hump.
I mean last week vs Michigan, and our game.
Kramer is not the new Seth Green. He is a wildcat QB who can both run and pass and handle the offense. Seth was a great short yardage runner who did not throw well and who was never in the mix as backup QB.
I'm sure Kramer is better than Green as a thrower, but I don't think we've seen enough proof to know that he is a good enough thrower to be the true #2 QB.
Having his passing stats doesn’t mean I have Eden Prairie’s stats. Google is a fickle beast. I don’t doubt Kramer can throw and I’m glad he is an effective at times wildcat QB. However the post I quoted said nothing about how his fake may have helped on that long run. What I saw on that long run was #65 pancaking someone on the second level
Of course you are correct, we haven't seen enough. None of us knows for sure what coaches think or have planned. But, what I am suggesting is that Kramer's wildcat package is being expanded to see more passing from different parts of the field and different situations.
We did it at Colorado for a series. He only handed off but still a series. I wanted them to throw to Brock for a brotherly connection, but it wouldnt have been classy to CU
