"Cover two?" I was in the stadium and haven't watched the replay but I would bet $100 that both of those plays were against one-high safety sets, and the other safety was in the box to try to defend that belly read Auburn was running all night.

Both deep balls came against a 2 shell. Now, I can't say with 100% certainty that we didn't roll coverage or zone blitz (was in the stadium and haven't seen the replay,) but we showed 2 high at the snap. And the coverage was bad on both. Not only did the safety allow the AU receiver to get over the top, but no one made a play on the ball on either throw.

Looked like a cover two on one and a high safety on one (or a blown cover 2).
Both were perfect throws, but all we can do now is play the man (because of inexperience)so the kids have no idea where the ball is.
Pushing a WR once at the line in this league doesnt work, the route has to be disrupted BEFORE it starts.
It looks like the kids know the scheme but its a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds out there.

You're probably right based on how far from the sidelines that took place. But the safety should have easily covered that Eugene simply did not get enough depth on the second one. Then he looked lost with the ball in the air.

Actually the OP is correct. I wouldn't say we had terrible safety play, but on 2 plays, the corner released the receiver inside expecting over the top help and Eugene was out of position both times allowing big plays.
