Snap Counts and Analysis With Cody McKean: Rutgers

It’s now a win streak. There was more to like on defense than offense this week, but a win is a win in the year 2020. The first offensive drive was nearly a proof of concept for offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca. After that it became predominantly a ground game whether due to the weather or having a lead with a good defense, I’m not sure. Of course since it’s 2020, that proof of concept resulted in a turnover on downs.

Offensive Snap Counts (total 79):

  • QB: Clifford - 62, Levis - 17
  • RB: Ford - 31, Lee - 32, Holmes - 4
  • WR: Dotson - 72, Washington - 61, KeAndre Lambert-Smith - 48, Lutz - 24, Jones - 11, George - 8, Cam Sullivan-Brown - 8
  • TE: Strange - 64, Johnson - 24, Kuntz - 3
  • OL: Menet - 79, Walker - 79, Fries - 79, Miranda - 79, Wallace - 52, Scruggs - 32

Offensive Personnel Takeaways:

  • No CJ Thorpe vs Rutgers meant that Scruggs was in a rotation with Caedan Wallace when he wasn’t a member of the jumbo Levis package (I’m taking suggestions for names for that 6 OL, 2 TE, 2 WR, 0 RB package).
