It made no sense that Jeremiah Smith wasn't on the field for the first 3 plays of this goal line set. Just the threat of him on the field is big.

Ya I try not to armchair this shit but if IU's plan is so very obviously to high low double team him, on literally every single down, why are you NOT trotting him out to the far side split on inches to go to dare them to pull 2 guys out with him?

If they don't, you now have JJ split WIDE with a raw 1 on 1 and infinite space to work.

Those plays made me seriously question Smith's playcalling intelligence.

Anyone there paid attention to the NFL for the last decade has no doubt that Smith has zero playcalling intelligence.

True but his favorite move was turning a dangerous weapon into a decoy. Maybe he’s just missing Jonnu Smith
