Conversely, I'm not set on Texas being a loss for us yet. Last year's game was the first one where Purdy faced that much pressure. I think Texas brings pressure all day long, but I'm confident in the staff to be prepared with some quick dump-offs this year. Plus Jack Trice will be amped up!
The check-down/dump off needs to be used more in general. If throwing it up for Butler and giving it to Montgomery were examples of letting your playmakers make plays, so is the dump off.
A really underrated play last year was getting Purdy on a bit of a roll out and hitting someone for a 5 yard pick up. A first down is better than 3rd and long.
