For the most part, Baylor did an excellent job of playing the zone read inside out, knowing that Hubert wasn't going to consistently get the edge for more than a few yards. I almost wanted Thompson or Lockett to line up in the backfield on one of those plays just to see what would happen if we ran that with some elite speed.
Baylor forced the give almost everytime by having the DE play Klein, which eventually was going to happen. And to be fair to Hubert there is a level of skill involved by the RB in running stretch read; you have to get to the mesh with the QB running laterally, squeeze the football enough so you can take it on the give, yet not so much you cause a fumble if the QB keeps it. All the while you need to be near full speed by the time you get the ball if it is a give because the run action is a sweep. Its tougher than it looks and takes multiple reps in practice. I just hope Pease can get into the mix there because he is a bigger back and has just as much if not more explosion as Hubert does. I gues all I am saying is give Pease a chance.
Oh, I've been pleasantly surprised by both Hubert and Pease, and think they can both do the job. I was simply saying it would have been nice to take a shot with the stretch read with a true speedster since Baylor was going to give us the edge. It wouldn't have been a true read in that Kline is going to give the ball on it every time.
And maybe Hubert is faster than I'm giving him credit for and Baylor's defense was just good enough to stretch out the play long enough to limit his effectiveness.

Was just tossing it out there as a wrinkle to the stretch read package. Will be interested to see how many other DEs can be as disciplined as Baylor's were Saturday.
