Terrelle had 20+ throws in the first half. He only had 4 or so in the second half when we were just burning clock. It was hard to tell on TV how bad it was raining in the first half? Did the rain have any impact on his poor completion percentage? I know he mantioned that the one over the middle that was almost picked slipped out. I'm just curious if this is much adieu about nothing.
I don't really think it rained that hard or consistently enough to affect his passing that much. The hardest rain during play was definitely when he almost threw the pick over the middle, but that rain only lasted about 5 minutes and definitely wasn't a downpour. I think the reason he only threw a few times in the second half was because Miami controlled the ball/clock until our final drive. Remember, they actually never punted in the second half and had 3 long drives in the 3rd quarter (that resulted in an INT and blocked FG, then a TD at the beginning of the 4th).
From section 5a, it looked like the problems in accuracy were due to TP speeding up his delivery a bit too much and reverting back to some of his old mechanics (more footwork issues than anything). It was something I didn't see at all against Marshall, so I think it is correctable.
