Now that the all-22 is out, we can see exactly what happened.
The Bucs have two staggered safeties--one in the box, one up high.
The box SS stays put. Olave is running the most common choice route in football - it's a Go vs one-on-one coverage OR convert to a Comeback vs two-high coverage and/or a deep cushion.

Here, it is press man-on-man coverage with a single high safety. When Shough lets the ball go, Olave is neck-and-neck with the CB. If they're even, he's supposed to be leavin'.

Olave breaks off into a comeback at the exact same time that Shough lets the ball go.

If Olave runs the route to completion, it is a jump ball at the absolute worst. This ball should never be picked, but Olave made a stunning mental mistake.

If the Saints keep rising & the Falcons keep faltering, allowing the Saints to move past the Falcons in the standings... how does that change your opinion?

If DD56 says you have "IT"... we ridin'

I may be in an area where internet service is lacking for most of the day, so updates may be slow. If I am slow, can a mod update score if needed please? Thanks.

Oh god that shoe in the air just gave me PTSD. :lol:

LSU fans call that a fond memory

A shocking result in the FCS...

Illinois State... who came to Hammond & beat SLU 21-3 in the First Round last week...

Went to Fargo & beat #1 North Dakota State today 29-28... after being down 14-0 at the end of the 1st quarter

It's always shocking when a Dakota or Montana lose early in the FCS Playoffs

Canada gets essentially Italy to open :lol:

France vs. Norway
