Petersen and his staff were so thoroughly outcoached in the first half. Georgia State was blitzing everything, including the run, and yet not one traditional screen pass or hot route was called to counter. Miles was not allowed to play his game in the first half either, and the defense couldn't cover receivers for two seconds.
You could see some desperation from UW coming out after halftime. A bad loss at home to a horrific GSU team would set the program back more than any loss in years. Petersen got so desperate that he went to his bag of tricks a game early, using a lot of nifty ideas that he was probably hoping to save for the Stanford game next week. The Lindquist wildcat stuff, etc.
It worked and UW won the second half 45-0. For as bad as UW's coaching performed in the first half, they were great in the second half. The finally figured out how to cover receivers and the pass rush did the rest.
Let's face facts UW fans, Miles might be our best QB, and he's basically Terrelle Pryor minus the tools. Horrible mechanics, poor decision making, lousy arm... but what he does have is decent mobility. UW got their offense going in the second half when they remembered that QBs can run too. If UW is going to have any success in the Pac-12 this year, they have to give Miles a Terrelle Pryor game plan where he runs the ball 10-15 times a game.
It's a shame that Lindquist is such a horrific QB. He is a top shelf athlete. I would love to see him on the field in creative usages a lot more.
Coleman is such a plodder, why they keep feeding him so many carries with all the athletes on this team is a total mystery to me.
