Why do we seem to never throw it deep to Tre Wilson?

Probably Sam hasn't been refined with accuracy on deep throws this year. Also partly why we don't throw a ton of corner passes he's not very accurate on the 1 on 1s to the outside on deep balls. Probably going to get better here as the season goes along as he already has. Would be awesome if they surprise Auburn with this because I guarantee they're going to shell defense the middle of the field and try to force him to throw on the corners. Someone this year is going to get raked over the coals with Sam throwing outside the hashes on the corners because most of his passes are over the middle.

We really will need to hit some deep balls in these upcoming games

Because he’s small and get pressed off the line and doesn’t get great separation vertically. And the OL doesn’t block well enough for our guys to get vertical downfield. We’ve gone to him downfield a few times, and they’ve all been 50/50 balls basically. I think he’s come down with one, almost came down with another, and the rest weren’t close.

His game is more horizontal. Get him the ball on the edge, close to the LOS and let him turn it up. I think they’re trying to add that piece to the offense.

Holy fricking cow. You can’t be serious.

I also agree with this on the OL play. They're pretty awful in pass coverage especially right side

Tell me you don’t watch the games without telling me you don’t watch the games.

I bet he thinks Landen Clark > Leavitt

I watch the games plenty. Like he said above, they throw quicker passes for 2 reasons: the Gs and RT is not good and sam struggles with accuracy on corners for deep throws with the 1 on 1 contested balls. Davis has improved from last year but he's still bad at times on pass blocking. I don't know how anyone watched the Miss State game and didn't seem Sam get killed under several throws. He just was good under pressure.

Lane puts a bigger premium on completing easier passes to keep the tempo up. Either way, Tre is more of a YAC threat than deep threat. He needs more opportunities with the ball in space.

Part of that is because of heavy wind in the game. Kiffin schemed that right with the weather in mind.

Good point. When we are already inefficient on deep balls, wind makes it not worth trying.

We don’t throw it deep much at all. I think we have QB limitations that are hindering the full playbook

More like we have OL limitations that are hindering the full playbook.
