We know from the CMAC experience that Shaw and the offensive brain trust are aware that it is legal to throw to the running backs. The fact they don't use Love in the passing game much probably has a reason behind it. It could be he isn't very good at it. I don't know.  I am pretty sure that the coaches aren't doing it just out of spite/stupidity. It is also possible that the QBs have trouble throwing the screen/wheel routes. No coach is going to say "We don't throw to player X because...", but I strongly suspect there is a reason.

His first big play was a 90-something yard screen pass against UCF in 2015. Plus didn't he catch a nice wheel route against UNC last year? There's probably some reason we're not passing to him much, but he's shown he can catch the ball adequately.

There was the play to Marx that went for 20 yards on third and short.

If you were replying to me, was that with Love in the play? I thought since it was short yardage it was Scarlett.

Or, you know, run some playfakes or something. Did we use playaction with Love even once?

I think twice. The Coug d-line just swarmed so fast it didn't matter.

I guess it's hard to do anything when your front is getting whipped.
