Seriously light and day after halftime. Any self proclaimed gurus have an explanation of what clicked in him (or around him)?
What clicked in Holman 2nd half?
- Thread starter cocoabeachjason
- Start date
Frost said that he started too "amped up" I think is the term he used. Overly excited. Holman settled down, but mostly I think the defense started to wear down.
A tired defense doesn't cause his throws to become more accurate.
Probably a combination of settling down and not overthinking his reads.
While I agree with you, I think somewhere down the road, Holman is going to get very comfortable in this offense. It probably won't happen next week, but as we enter into conference play, I think Holman will be very well adjusted to the offense and he will become a more dynamic playmaker on offense.
That being said, hearing the ESPN 3 crew talk about their interview with the QB coach, I am very excited about what Milton has to offer.
I think that you are correct, but the problem is when they do that it defeats the purpose of this type of offense. I was constantly watching the play clock, and plays were run quickly, but not as quickly as I thought that they should have been.
true but if a minor tweak like that is needed to get the W so be it. also given how the defense was playing maybe Frost didn't mind slowing it down a little to help that unit the way the game was going
Holman's 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter were very good...he settled down, set his feet and threw the ball accurately to the open man...and he had time to do it...
in the second half was their D tired, yes....was our OLine better, yes...much better...so let's see how Holman, and just as important the offensive line, plays on Saturday in the Big House....this is early an opportunity for both to step up and shine!

Three sacks and two roughing the passer penalties can make anyone gun shy (if not physically shaken). Did you notice that gigantic man monster SCSt had over our tiny center? Their QB was really accurate, got the ball out quick, and was elusive until we hit him a couple times.
I'm pretty sure Frost said in the post game interview that he made no halftime adjustments whatsoever.
??
The philosophy is that you don't change the system. You identify and address problems of individual players not playing the system well enough. It's a completely different concept from the coach making brilliant halftime adjustments.
Also, Frost says he doesn't believe in Rah-Rah halftime speeches. Instead, he believes the players should be encouraging each other... and they did last night. It's the essence of teamwork.
Easy...in the first half...UCF, uptempo, just ran whatever play was called in (prior to SCST Defense was set up). 2nd half, Frost slowed the play calling down...waited till SCST set their defense...then had entire UCF Offense look over to sideline for play call....and that slowing down, better play calling, better tempo made Holman look a lot more comfortable.
Holman looked like a true Freshmen in the 1st half (throwing).
He's playing in a game situation for the first time running this offense, and so is everybody else. My guess is it'll be 4 games or so before the lights start to come on for a lot of players. We were also physically superior afterall, it was only SC State. We are likely to get dominated next week but all we'd like to see is better execution from one weeknto the next.
Except our center was outweighed by a hundred or more pounds by that giant they had.
yep, the first half was difficult for Holman because he wasn't getting the ball out quickly...he was trying to read the D and missed plenty of wide open receivers....then he got sacked and pressured and his first half failures snowballed on him....but to his credit he came out in the second half and made some quick accurate throws that helped his confidence....then some accurate longer throws that put the game away....
he better start out with quick short throws to build his confidence against Michigan (and not hold the ball)....otherwise it could get ugly
their QB was better than Holman in the first half and comments around me were...could we please swap QB's? but to his credit Holman came back with a very good 3rd and early 4th quarter....
and Rae will be challenged all year in the middle....especially this upcoming week as he is small man for that position and the bis Michigan DL will be taking no prisoners...
Either way, 193 yds passing against a not so good defense is terrible. The way they compared Milton to Johnny Football, I'd rather just have him start.
They could still go to him mid-season or before if they decide to burn his redshirt (or go to Kruczek). The point at the beginning to get the rest of the offense in sync with the system. Then they can plug anyone in that they want.
Good comparison. Without the mental instability and immaturity
Shane Buechele is 6'-2" four-star dual threat who "out competed" a 5-star QB. Much smaller Milton takes one good hit and he's out for the year. Better to prepare him until he catches on to the speed and size of college defenders. That's what they did with Houston's star QB. He entered the game part way through against us and nearly led a spectacular comeback a couple years ago.
Beuchele just threw a long one to start 2nd half. Hes only 6-1 from what ABC showed at start of game. But If hes good enough Id start a freshman too. Prefer a Freshman if we aren't thinking good bowl game with a Sr anyway.
