Oregon State vs. TCU


TCU
61 Marcus Cannon
3 Tejay Johnson
85 Jeremy Kerley


Oregon State
1 Jacquizz Rodgers
54 Stephen Paea
60 Alex Linnenkohl
8 James Rodgers


James Rodgers

1st - 12:00 - Outstanding route running, really sells the out route to go up the seam of the zone for the TD reception


Stephen Paea

1st - 9:36 - Great job using hands, staying low and generating power from lower body ... Disengages to make tackle

1st - 7:28 - Lacks quickness and athleticism to beat LG from 3-tech position on swim move ... didn't see much pass rushing talent from Paea here w/ opportunity

1st - 0:15 - 1-tech, dips shoulder and generates leverage to get under LG ... QB holds ball for too long and Paea gets sack ... LG could have been flagged for holding here ... great motor here and Paea shows some toughness

2nd - 5:52 - Outstanding strength inside ... gives a punch to LG and generates some space ... nearly gets sack but lacks closing speed/athleticism ... terrific motor on Paea but we see his limitations here ...

3rd - 9:46 - Completely unblocked ... makes tackle but didn't have to beat anybody due to missed assignment

Not much impact from Paea in 3rd QTR - not a lack of motor just didn't have opportunities

4th - 8:27 - 5-technique position ... disengages, but RT stays with block to force Paea up field and past ballcarrier ... Paea seemed to lack some agility here

4th - 7:53 - Completely overwhelmed by Cannon's size here and engulfed

4th - 6:23 - Lacks athleticism to beat RB to gap

4th - 4:06 - Lacks balance and coordination ... gets pushed to ground

4th - 3:36 - Engulfed at POA by double team (clearly can't play nose tackle in NFL at current playing weight, whatever it is)


Marcus Cannon

2nd 0:56 - Uses angle, mass, strength and takes DT Paea out of play to create running space for TD

4th - 7:53 - Generates leverage, bends at knees, completely takes DT Paea out of play for 1st down run on 3rd & 7 ... created massive running lane
