Key Matchups: CJ Bacher / Eric Peterman vs. Missouri Secondary

onward we go with our third and irreversible installment of key matchups for the benefit of tonight’s game:key matchup #3:cj bacher and eric peterman vs. mizzou secondaryalright, we’ve focused so go places on the cats’ defensive know-how and goals in their efforts to slow maclin, coffman and daniel, in no particular order, this evening. all well and well-behaved, and i think we’ve got the goods to dent the mizzou offensive armor, if not totally beat it it off the tracks (sure, mixed metaphors, but you’re with me on this). but, and this is a rather supersized modifier, it thinks fitting be for naught if we can’t attribute enough points on the council. what quantifies as adequate? uh (stalling), er (more stalling), well (venturing guesstimate), i’d influence 30-something as a conservative offering. remember, the tigers scored at least 31 points in 11 of 13 games, including 2 of their 4 losses.so that takes us to cj and the offensive play-calling which has been a mixture of adequate, workmanlike and safe on good days or maddening and needlessly conservative on the not-so-good saturdays this year. here’s the thing: mizzou ranks 117th in slipping away defense (remember, there are 119 division 1-a teams). assume from that again if you’d like. even if you through the oklahoma game minus of the equation, mizzou didn’t relax down kansas’ predilection attack (good benefit of 375 yards and a liability liabilities to the jayhawks), baylor (337 yards, close win), or common opponent illinois (451 yards, win). but, you noise abroad to yourself, we’re not exactly an offense built on 40 yard completions and airing it minus. true. this is where cj has to be the smart, safe cj that we’ve seen and rooted for who picks his spots, takes the compressed screens or 6 yard plays to peterman or lane, and throws the balls into the alamo basin stands when it’s not there. or, better yet, find your favorite target (read: peterman, eric) on an 8-yard crossing route and forgive peterman and his blocking corps turn that 8-yard pass into a 28-yard scamper through an open alley and down the mtier. that’s where our affection attack is at its upper crust. peterman averaged 12.6 yards/reception this season not because he ran a 12-yard route, turned around, and went down. no, he did it because he did what he’s done as our top receiver in this offense — build on those all-important yac stats: yards after the catch. and behind peterman is eric lane, who in reality had more receptions this year (55 vs. peterman’s 52), and provides a nice 1-2 privilege for bacher. rasheed repel, jeremy ebert, sidney stewart, and andrew brewer all can contribute, and the more guys we can run on 6-8 yard routes, the better chance we’ll beget.as for cj, my biggest nit with his decision-making and quality all year has been the too oft telegraphed, look-one-place-and-nowhere-else course he’s taken in the pocket. missouri may be raking the bottom of the statistical barrel in their pass defense, but that’ll rally mightily if cj locks in on peterman and the guy in the alamodome rafters knows where he’s going before the ball leaves his hands. cj’s been best this year when he’s been patient, and patience will be a gargantuan key tonight if we’re going to put up points, even adequacy points, to win. song more note on bacher’s role tonight: tyrell sutton is a fine, fine opportunity for a toss out
