1. Stepping INTO pressure or the pocket
I have yet to see Morris buy his receivers that extra tick with a confident step into the pocket. He usually just gets the ball out of his hands or flushes outside of the pocket. If he cannot step into pressure tomorrow, we lose.
2. Yards after the catch
If Fisch doesn't put Morris in the position to complete at least 6 crossing routes - shallow or otherwise - I guarantee we will lose the game. (And, no, square ins, slants and quick ins do not count as crossing routes.) If he doesn't average at least 6 yards/attempt tomorrow, I think we lose by double digits. I hope I'm forced to eat crow.
I need to see our WRs/TEs/RBs running across the face of their underneath coverages. If Fisch puts Morris in the position to do so and Morris can take a little off the ball so his guys can actually be lead and keep running, we're going to score 30 points.
3. Stay with the run game a little more and force KState to lean forward for the play action
If those LBs are comfortable enough that they're not jumping forward toward the running game, we lose tomorrow. I cannot imagine this as a game where we simply do not use the middle of the field, yet win.
