Am I seeing things? It seems like the Gophers were using six Offensive Linemen in their obvious pass protection scheme (sometimes seven with a TE, and then the RB/FB as an extra blocker).
Yet, Penn State could not stop the Gophers passing game. My question is, why didn't the Gophers use it more instead of playing a bit conservative by using more running plays in the second half especially the Fourth Quarter?
It is effective because they formed a fortress around Tanner Morgan, and he throws those accurate missiles very quickly the Penn State Defense did not have time to react.
This is just my observation. Did anybody see it this way too?
IMHO, that's the reason the Gophers RPO Offense is so lethal with Tanner's ability read defenses and change plays when he recognizes the Defensive formation.
Now, I can see the reason behind the high scoring offense. Call me slow to comprehend I don't care. I like the results.
