The pass scheme has been shocking

Weirdly, I think the infamous interception play from Saturday was the first time all season we ran multiple guys through multiple areas of the field.

I have a sad theory. We had some concepts we ran a ton last year: mesh, snag, switch release stuff, etc. that would be serving us really well right now especially given the personnel we have (especially given that we have a tall QB for the first time in forever). Most of those players are still around, Gigudli is still on staff, etc. but the biggest difference is Leonard. If he didn't rep that stuff at Duke then he literally had like 22 summer practices to get on top of them, most of which were likely dedicated to the Texas A&M plan. You look at how bad his feet are, how slow his reads are and understand why they are loath to add any more to the playbook, but if this is what he can handle then the season is dead with him at QB. I don't know why you'd be using this kind of passing game through two games (including an era defining loss) unless it were otherwise
