Is changing protection responsibility considered an audible?
You may have missed my comments about this last year. I did see him do it once and I am not trying to be a smart ass when I say that. In my other comments I brought up the fact that the more successful offenses are the ones who are not predictable. He should be doing audibles into a pass fifty percent of the time to keep the defense guessing. There are a lot of old rusty tools in the Iowa offensive tool shed.
Might even be a coach or two in there that aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed also.
OMG this has been going on for a DECADE. EVERY TIME there has been an audible, it’s to a run on the SHORT SIDE of the field. It’s unreal. Watch games w my buddies, and we all laugh at it each and every time. Even the defense will shift to that side.
Completely true. 95% chance the audible is going to a short side stretch play. Unless the play is already a short side stretch play, then they audible into a stretch play to the other side. Ground breaking revolutionary stuff.
The answer is never.
Unless the coaching staff is prohibiting NS from making an audible other than a stretch run, this is on NS. How many times have we had a receiver with single coverage get no consideration for a back shoulder throw, or even an opportunity to make a play? Good QB's see mismatches and take advantage, Iowa doesn't. It's as if Iowa has no interest in scouting itself whatsoever or even giving our playmakers a chance to make a play. Dismal
