What you are talking about is a lack of high % completion throws. Short slants, quick outs, bubble screens.

Those pass plays that keep the defense honest and small pickups. I have wondered the same and I'm sure Canada will work them in as the season goes on.

Definitely a couple of underthrown deep balls, it was nice to actually see our receivers go up and make a play though.

Exactly and it should give Danny more confidence

I too want to see the intermediate-middle field used more. Specifically I was hoping to have MSU fearing it by this time. It hasn't been worth the risk yet I suppose. DE does have a tendency to throw high in the middle (like Mettenburger), which is bad... very bad.

More significantly we haven't seen very much screen action yet. If the OL is indeed a concern (future) then this should help them slow down some pass rushes.

Put the two together I'm drawing the conclusion that the timing/chemistry isn't there yet and Canada knows it. Or, possibly, we haven't needed it yet. It is one or the other.
