It was a short, 5-10 yard, perimeter pass. Probably similar to what 50% of college football teams run to open the game. But without f-ing it up.

It presumes excellent pass blocking, and telegraphs a pass, which triggers a balls-to-the-wall pass rush.

Drew Brees did well with this at Purdue until that game against ND when that Wilfred Brimley coach took the ball out of his hands and Purdue lost to ND.

I do not understand why run to set up play action is not our main identity.

No backs also give a pretty strong indicator to the defense that you will not be handing the ball off to a RB.

We make it easier for the opposition AND invite them to send a blitz that we will unlikely pick up.

Plays because his friends dad is also their coach and goes over play design with them when he is over.
After not many ND plays he turned over to me and asked how Brian Kelly was still coaching there and what is this soft crap.

I am sure it is technicolor.

As there was a false start penalty so we’re facing 1st and 15 and likely went off script.

And I disagree that 1st and 15 causes a change in the script.
