I'm close friends with one of the players and he pretty much said it was the coaches fault for refusing to change out of their game plan to stop Tra Mason. The players kept on asking for different formations, but coaches were stubborn and kept calling the same plays.

I wish I could say that I'm surprised. This is why I'm glad Steckel is getting the hell out.

We ran nothing but a 4-3 base against teams with four and five wide in the BXII, putting us at a massive disadvantage. Hell, they refused to load up against Navy.

The only thing that made our defense good this year is that we had so much talent on the front four that you could run a Tampa 2 and just let Ray, Golden, and Brantley win their matchups.

That Auburn game broke something in me. I spent a lot of time afterwards looking at schemes to use against the read option. It reinforced a long-existing belief: most football coaches are dumbassed meatheads.

Its not limited to football coaches. I think a lot of coaches overall fall into the trap of thinking "That's too simple to work" so they always overcomplicate things regardless of how simple the solution might have been.

Lee's Summit senior quarterback Drew Lock will participate Saturday in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The game kicks off at noon and will be televised on NBC.

Lock, who has committed to Missouri, was chosen last week as The Star's All-Metro player of the year after throwing for 28 touchdowns in 10 games. He completed 66 percent of his passes. He will play on the East squad Saturday.

The U.S. Army All-American Bowl has featured some of the nation's best high school talent for the past 15 years — a group that includes Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Last year's game drew a crowd of 40,017 to the Alamodome.

More stuff about lock:

From the article:

3 QB
Drew Lock
Lee's Summit (Mo.)
Lock was the most consistent quarterback of the bunch on Thursday. He was able to spin the ball well and place it in the right spot. He was mechanically sound and he threw a ball that was able to cut through the crisp, cold weather. Overall it was another solid day for the Missouri-bound quarterback.

Did anyone watch Beckner today?

Saw several Vines of him. He is freakishly strong and a better athlete than he looks like in his Rivals videos. He's surprisingly good at bending from the hips and maintaining power and speed.

He's already huge without looking fat. He could be a Haloti Ngata type player.

Rough start for Lock with a tipped ball for a pick six on his first pass. Three and out on second series.

By no means his best showing... But the snaps from the center were hardly something that gave him the added time any QB would enjoy as he was usually showing his vertical just to take the snap. Not excuse, so he's getting a good look at what it's going to be like playing against a team full of D1 kids.

And I think he needs to focus on football to solidly get to the next level and not waste any time with ****ing around with ****ing MIZZOU basketball!

And wow, the West's defense is killing Lock's east team! So far not East QB can do shit!

[GloryDayz]

And I kind of wish they'd give Drew the chance to announce on TV just so we could see Andy's big smile! Not to mention some Andy highlights from the 80s!
