Why on long pass plays there is not a safety anywhere in the picture?

One is committed to the run or so it seems and the other is covering someone underneath. Not sure why either because we sorely miss safety help over the top.
Watched SC kill ASU Saturday night with great safety play.

It would really help if we could jam the receivers at the line. Seems most times they just run past our guys and then there is no help over the top.

If we play with a one high safety then it's been very apparent that the opposing QB generally will always throw it the other way most of the time (which is what you would expect if the QB isn't having pressure to unload). I'm not seeing a lot of double coverage.

I think its very challenging to compare Bo's pass coverage with Banker. Bo's was based on route recognition, physical play, and keys. Can't tell what Banker is trying to do yet frankly...Davie's poor play opened the dam up to the floodwaters it appears. Until we get some turnovers, or our guys show some physicality, other teams will keep taking deep shots. We have to find a way to get to the quarterback too...
