Shirreffs has run for 232 yards in the last three games as UConn added a new dynamic to the offense with designed QB running plays and options. The issue is, when Shirreffs scrambles he does not slide. He dives forward and usually leads with his head, as we have seen since the very first game. It is not only dangerous for his personal wellbeing to not be sliding, but it is also hurting the team. In the last two games, Shirreffs has fumbled the ball after being hit while scrambling. Yesterday, he fumbled at the Cincinnati 27-yard line in a 14-7 game.
