One of my favorite wrinkles tonight was the jet sweep read. We brought Pearson in motion from the slot and blocked it like you would outside zone. Except we blocked the backside DE and left the Will linebacker. Worley read him. When a LB sees jet motion, they naturally want to run with it and we took advantage of that. The LB goes flying over the top to Pearson and Worley keeps the ball for about 7 yards and a first down.
Another wrinkle I liked tonight was running the speed out with Pearson on our inside zone. I saw us do this on back to back plays, and each time Worley threw a great ball to Pearson for about 5 yards.
This is also why a lot of you guys kept asking "why aren't we running the ball more?". We were calling run plays, but the defensive alignment left our slots uncovered for easy catches that we couldn't pass up.
On this play Worley is reading the OLB (B) who is aligned halfway between Pearson and the offensive tackle. We are blocking the DE because he's playing so heavy inside (in B gap). Worley sees the OLB come inside for the zone play, and throws two great passes in a row with this unblocked LB in his face.
We did a great job with formation tonight. Most coaches (although not all) would call this formation king stack. King means the H-back (Wolf) is on the same side as the twins, stack tells the RB (Hurd) to align behind the H-back.
This set was our formation for our first TD. If you count, we have 4 of our 5 skill plays on one side of the football. This gives us a big advantage in the running game to that side of the field. So we brought Pig in motion and ran jet sweep to that side of the football, with both the H-back and RB leading the way.
You don't point it out but this formation is also unbalanced since the tackle is the last man on the line of scrimmage on the left side. The slot receiver on the right is actually ineligible. I notice they (and USU) did this a couple times during the game.
