Yeah, there's really no justification for these drops. I wonder if part of it is that the offense is getting played tighter so fewer guys have open space in front of them as they catch the ball. So they're just not as used to getting those 'poorly placed' balls that allow them to defend themselves since in years past, they haven't need the ball thrown there.
They're used to catch and run balls and they're still operating as though that's what they're going to get. But man, playing against these bombshell defenses with guys coming downhill as the ball is being delivered, you try to do that every play and you'll get your receivers heads taken off on a weekly basis.

I don't know what the story is either, but as of now, I'm chalking it up to regression to the mean. We had a pretty nice run there of good execution. We might just be getting the bullshit bounces that we've been, for lack of a better term, deferring.
That about has to be wrong, but that's the best I have at the moment.
But yeah, that pass was as good as you can ask for.

Right, and frankly, if KU football could find a Bill Snyder, that would be the best case scenario. Hopefully Leipold is that guy, but it's unlikely he can build what Snyder did.
