Sunday night and I think Blough’s struggles to stay in the pocket, keep his feet planted, and step in to his throws is likely what led to his off game. Against OSU, he took some big shots but stayed in there and stepped in to his throws. MSU did a good job of muddying up the pocket and making David feel pressure around his feet to make him antsy and get him out of his comfort zone. He looked more along the lines of 2016 Blough with happy feet and throwing off his back foot rather than the 2018 Blough who was standing tall, allowing routes to develop, and stepping in to his throws to make them accurately.
I think David just had a bad game and when you don’t have the running game to go to 30 times a game when that happens, you get beat in a close game.
