Malachi and Tyron

I know the rant is still in Catastrophe Mode, but seeing as how we actually have a game to talk about now, I figured I'd mention how excited I am to see these two work as our top options for the bowl.

As sad as it was to see Dural get hurt, it will be interesting to see how his absence will change the approach in the bowl game.

A lot of us get frustrated with the lack of an intermediate and short passing game, but with Dural as our #1 receiver it really made more sense to focus on his ability to stretch the field and go over the top with play action.

Playing without him will force the offense to work more underneath where a guy like Tyron, Diarse, and even Quinn seem to be more suited while Malachi works the intermediate and deeper routes.


Of course, the QB has to be able to complete those shorter routes when called, but seeing an athlete like Tyron getting the ball in space is something that should be a lot of fun. And there will be a lot more passes to go his way without Dural getting the looks he understandably does.


Looking forward to this matchup. Much more exciting than a matchup with any of the Big 10 or ACC teams we had a chance to see imo.
