he just needs to learn to feel the defense better; just because a guy is "there" doesn't mean that the wr is covered. Need to see beyond jersey color and into body positioning, etc. Also, needs to understand that he needs to make the entire read and not just assume that the primary route is going to be open.

This is all on tape now--understand, I didn't watch the game so I cannot speak to exactly what Pitt was doing but I can see on this play what the confusion likely was. My guess is that teams will start to overplay the primary read and force Book to go to his second and sometimes third options. I think that the coaching staff also needs to do a good job of scheming things correctly so the defense doesn't just know what we're going to do based on their coverage pre snap and our formation/personnel grouping. We can't be baited into doing what they want us to do.
