Rattay New Redskins Quarterbacks Coach

Jenkins toiled under Dooley's very conservative offensive scheme. Not to excuse Jenkins, or to make excuses for him, but Dooley tried to install an SEC system of power football. Wasn't gonna work very well here. Even during that very disappointing 2009 season we averaged 30 pts per game. We ran the ball fairly well and Jenkins was called on to be a game manager.

But yeah, neither Jenkins nor Smith will make it into Tech's QB Hall of Fame, the names we know: Slaughter, Bradshaw, Duron, etc..

The problem with LA Tech "averaging 30 pts per game" (it was actually 29.2 pts per game) in 2009 was, 4 WAC teams averaged MORE. LOL! Boise (42.2), Nevada (38.2), Fresno St (33.8), and Idaho (32.7) averaged more points per game than we did.

While it is true that Ross Jenkins was limited by Dooley's very conservative scheme, he was also a great kid with a very weak arm. If you recall, Jenkins could never stretch the field, because he couldn't throw deep passes. The WAC defenses caught on to this weakness quickly, and the WAC DB's started crowding the line of scrimmage, challenging him to throw deep. But, he just didn't have the arm to do it. And they knew it.
