Streveler has more personal need to impress and takes more risks. This is the same lapo as we have seen for 15+ years. Remember 2002? Bombs to stegall and Bruce or drop it off short to Robert's and Sellers. Stoddard was under used on the mid range stuff.
Nichols is good at throwing those mid range passes but this team doesn't prioritize them, especially when up by 30 points.
