I wish the Boise new/all season pro combat's would have been shown. I can't wait to play this tomorrow though!

Exactly. I would hope the deep ball would be effective in that instance. That is basic playcalling.

Plus the 4-2-5 isn't the most effective formation against 5 wide sets

yet again it seems like "four verticals" is gonna be money.

Like others have said the play he picked was a very bad call for that situation so he deserved to get burnt for the touchdown. Only time will tell if the money pass plays are still valid or not. Tomorrow we should learn a lot from the demo build on this situation. Hopefully we can actually play defense this year.

Looks like the O-Line has a little trouble navigating around each other. TCU blew up a pistol run because the guard pulled and the tackle got caught on him and couldn't move to block the LB that shot through the gap. Turned into a 4 yard loss.

That's been a bit of an issue I've noticed over the years, but I'm not really sure how it can be fixed

Of course it is money against Cover 2. It should always be "money" against that soft defense with little to no pressure on the QB.

If you want realism then expect that to be "money"? It's real football when you match up the offensive playcall vs. the zone they are in.

No different than running drags and pick plays vs. man coverage. Someone is coming free if the QB has time to throw the ball.

If you've got zone called where 1 safety is all you've got covering 2 deep WRs then yes, it will be. The touchdown was a result of poor playcalling.
