Several "experts " on this board who lay in wait for any opportunity to show off their football expertise falsely claimed Jayden Danie's first quarter intercepted throw was a poor decision or the result of " staring " down his receiver. Neither is true. Former Tiger Dwight McGlothern just guessed right and made the pick. He was guarding Nabers who was running a deep sideline route. Mason Taylor ran a short route and stayed flat as Daniels delivered the ball. McGlothern was 10 yards away from Taylor covering Nabers and there is no reason for Daniels to believe he was double covering Taylor. He guessed right and broke off of Nabers and cut in front of Taylor for the pick.

If there was any blame it was on Taylor for not coming back to the ball and allowing McGlothern to cut inside of him. Had the play been designed to fake a short pass to Taylor and hit Nabers deep he would have been all alone in the moonlight as the safety was patrolling the middle of the field.

The fact Taylor ran that route every game last year didn’t help either.

Good film study and that is an easy route to jump.

Good play by the corner. Tip your hat.

2 things can be true.

1. the interception was JD’s fault
2. Nudie made a really good play on the ball

First of all it was not Nabers, it was Diggs who motioned out of the backfield. So we have a RB on far sideline running a route with a CB guarding him. The CB decided correctly that we were prob never gonna throw a pass to the RB in that situation and sagged off for the interception. There was nothing Taylor could’ve done differently bc he didn’t even know the CB was there and the guy who was guarding him, he had beaten. It is a tough read for the QB bc you don’t expect the CB to be there. I’d chalk it up to a bad play design and good instincts by the CB.

You cant have it both ways. Either McGlothern made a great play in baiting Daniels by waiting until the last second to jump the route or Daniels totally missed McGlothern leaving Nabers all alone.

I tend to believe its a little of both, but mostly a great play by McGlothern. He watched the film and played the odds perfectly as we go to the TE a lot on that play.

No reason for Daniels to expect him to leave the sideline route runner. I thought it was Nabers but may have misread the number and it was Digggs. . He either recognized the route or just made a lucky guess. In either event the Daniels nay sayers were wrong that Daniels just stared down a receiver.

I'd love to have Mcglothern on this team. He would cure a lot of our problems.

the only type of interception that is not the person who threw the ball’s fault is a throw that is dropped by a receiver

If that's correct, then Diggs was probably running all by himself down the sideline. Would love to see the All 22 look of that play.

Daniels does have a tendency to eyeball one receiver. Like someone else posted, McGlothern just read his eyes and made the pick.

He was as soon as McGlothern left him, and had they called a wheel route as soon as Daniels looked toward Taylor and McGlothern bit it was likely a big play for the offense.

No. You are wrong about that. It’s true that the Hogs called what we used to call a roll-up in flag football. The idea is to get a rotation of defenders switching zones to fool the QB into throwing to an “open” receiver and get the pick.

College football QBs are a lot more sophisticated, and if the defense did a full rotation he would spot the guy leaving the zone and know what’s up, so they leave the defender playing soft and roll the guy underneath.

It’s up to the QB to spot that and adjust to the gaping hole in the defense. Daniels didn’t do that. It was his fault. And it was a nice call by Arkansas and beautiful execution by McGlothern.

Do we take credit away for the TD that was so underthrown it confused the defense? No? Then the INT stays.

The misread rattled JD for a while and he got tentative but he worked through it. Because it happened early I have to feel that they found a tendency in our play calling or JD's progressions and exploited it with a good coverage call.
