I noticed something interesting...

[Marf]

Why are we only pulling guards and tackles to the side we are running to when we are in a single back set?

 

Every time we pulled the Guard from weak side and had the guard and fullback lead off tackle or off end, we would get 6-8 yards.

 

Literally every time. I rewound (?) the game to be sure...

 

Also, if we consistently did this, wouldn't this open up the counter game much more? I have yet to see a decently set up and executed misdirection run from our Offense. If we pull the guard, and run the way he pulls every time, the D-linemen matched up is obviously going to follow after a certain point. That's when we run a counter right in to the pulling guard's vacated hole.

 

Maybe I have just been missing it before, maybe it hasn't worked and I am wrong... But it seemed to me that pulling an extra offensive lineman from the weak side to lead was pretty darn effective.

 

Any thoughts?

That's why i've been calling for watson's job. This works but i guess it's not fancy enough.

Very true, Husker33, I was picking up on that, too. Maybe the ground game will come out strong vs. Baylor next week.

You are not going to be able to run counters out of a shotgun.

I noticed this to. Esp. during the drive that Robinson had the ball striped away. I looked like our power run game was really working but we never use it.

That's why I said single back set...

 

That I formation we were running was working quite well, that's mainly where I noticed it.

 

Robinson looked really good at least. Can't wait to see more of him.

thats what i said in a different post:

 

run sh#t that works over and over and over, them BAM counter that sh#t off misdirection whether it be a boot leg or reverse or a drop back bomb
