First Plays out of the gate

[GrowVol]

It seems some of our first Offensive plays are flat,bland...feeling out the waters safe plays. This is probably for good reason. But in games such as Ole Miss, a smack in the mouth play out of the gate may really help our chances and build momentum. Which play, or kind of play, do you see successful out of the gate against Ole Girl to not just go 3 and out first series?
Run, post, deep shot, slant, TE screen??

fake WR screen

I just played on ncaa 14 and hit Marquez north with an 80 yard bomb to start it off. I'd like to see that right out of the gate for once.

Deep post...one receiver...nine blockers.

 

[Cohutta]

Pig, VP, and North trips right. Screen to pig, but he passes to Hurd wide open on a wheel route

Yes, North on the 80 yard post.

With nine blockers

First few series in the Georgia game were good! Hope to see them try something like that this week.

Delay hand off to Hurd for 0.12 yds

No doubt North would catch it if Worley could catch him in stride.

:lol:

Put Jalen in the WildHurd* and run it hurry-up for the entire first drive...

*please no false starts

 

[GrowVol]

Evan Berry takes it out to 40, Draw play..Hurd 10+, then deep shot. (I need to wake up)

 

[bigsteve13]

Screen, run, sack, punt. Book it

Reminds me of Manning to Kent at Bama on play #1 back in the day. 80 yard TD!

I would love to see a quick slant or wheel route

 

[roddo518]

My first play of the game would be two fades down the sideline with the slot down the middle on a go route. Make the two deep safeties make a choice, throw to the reciever that the safeties don't cheat to. That leaves Ya with a te and a back for max pass protection. I'd try to get that in their minds early that I'll do that about every 15 plays. Might give Us a lil breathing room. They like to suffocate offenses by all eleven within 10 yds of the ball. They are fast everywhere. Ole miss has a lot of holes on the wr quick hitches(cbs play 10 yds back), and the short middle passes have loose coverage. we can't run till we establish the pass. I think screens are gonna be tough. They have way too many defenders close to los and are extremely fast. Draws are gonna be nice too IMO. Go Vols!

Onside kick followed by whatever play gets us a touchdown!

 

[orangeluvr]

First down : Hurd gains one yard.

2nd down: JW gets sacked.

3rd down: JW gets sacked again.

4th down: Darr booms a 55yd punt.

The next possession : JW refuses to take the field.

Surely it won't be that bad! :crossfingers:

 

[VolFootballlover]

Slow developing run up the middle for a 1 yard loss.wr screen for 2 yards .JW sacked & we punt 4th & 16

 

[1982Alum]

I think the most likely play is a sack on Worley while trying a short down and out to North who will not get open even if the ball was thrown.

2nd and 20........................

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I would make the D look stupid first play and have Worley pull the ball from Hurd and keep it for 6 or 7 and slide.

And if we have a couple of pages of plays we haven't run yet you pull them out this game.

 

[berryvol]

Heck I'd take it if we just would win two consecutive coin tosses!

 

[alexbond45]

First Play: INT which is fumbled and recovered by JW for a TD

 

[mgnelson88]

Seems like we run the 4 WR quick hitch play within the first 3 plays every game....let's run the hook and go.....
