Jay Jordan - At the End of the Day...ULM

“ULM brings seven players in pressure on 3rd and long. Iowa State chips and releases short with the tight end for an easy outlet. The receiver to the tight end side runs an out route at 12 yards and the slot runs a dig chasing the out under the safety. ....Each of the concepts described above are pressure beaters.”

Hopefully, continued practice and perfection of these concepts will help the Cyclones beat Texas. They've killed us in recent years by relying on their great athletes to pressure and get to the quarterback.

I wonder if Dylan Soehner projects as an NFL tackle like Ali Villanueva for the Steelers
 
Jay hit on it, but the third down performance must improve as we face better opponents. The only team in the conference with a net negative. Add in TO margin, and that is not good given many say we’re a ball-control team.

Will the TEs continue to improve? Great possibilities with the 12 package, including Purdy scramble and find 6’7” targets, assuming they’re apt at finding gaps in the defense.

If not having Butler leads to better route trees and sophistication, then we won’t see a drop off.

Or Brian O'Neil for the Vikings. He was a tight end at Pitt his first few years there and has been a very athletic and solid tackle for the Vikes
 
I think the tight ends are really contributing in the blocking scheme and we will see that become a big deal in Big 12 play. They handle some of the overhang players Big 12 defenses are accustomed to using to play against the read option. If there are multiple big blockers to account for that, then the playing field is even and ISU ends up with an advantage. They are far more involved in the passing game and moving the sticks. Kolar has to be accounted for every play which draws attention away from Pettway and Jones or Milton. If that continues, then there is a possibility that offensive bog downs are reduced. 8 TE catches against ULM is significant.

All great news, in theory. I hope the execution is there against better opponents.

There’s subtlety to being multiple vs clogging or compressing the field imo. PFF had an interesting stat on Purdy’s passer rating being much higher against ULM in the 11 package. One would expect 11 package to be more pass friendly and I don’t know if Kolar and Allen are exclusively considered TE in the stat below.

“Purdy was absolutely elite when Iowa State stuck to their 11 personnel offense. In those personnel packages, Purdy had a 94.9 passing grade, 150.5 passer rating, 89.5% adjusted completion percentage and averaged 18.2 yards per attempt. When they decided to go out of their offense in other packages, Purdy had a 52.1 passing grade, 80.7 passer rating, 57.1% adjusted completion percentage and averaged 7.4 yards per attempt. Good thing they operated out of 11 personnel on 77.1% of their pass plays”

What does an "11 personnel offense" mean?

(Maybe a noob question -- I mean ... aren't there 11 guys on each play?)
