Our center, who had taken every snap of the season, goes out in the first quarter and a true freshman guard moves over to center and the offense doesn’t miss a beat.
To be fair, the game plan for the heels was very straight forward and simple which is very conducive for an inexperienced guy to come in and thrive against a very weak D front. Lots of under center and simple run schemes. Thankfully though, he absolutely made the most of it and did very well.
This performance definitely raises the question “where the heck has this been all season?!” as we’ve seen JB under pressure a lot(and I do think the explanation IN PART is this was a very different game plan than the previous games). I remember the O line being touted as a strength of the team going into the year. Hopefully they are starting to gel and come back stronger next year! It’s always good when you have a guy go down and someone can come replace him without missing a beat.
