First and foremost, I don't know anything, but at times like to try to fool myself that I do. So freely admit, I don't know what I'm talking about.
[There, that ought to make the nits who follow me around on VN to be insulting quacks, feel good.]
Here's a few plays I'd like to see Heupel try at least once.
1. Kickoff, form a flying wedge in front of the KR to foster his advance downfield.
[Wedge blocking is the use of teammates’ bodies to transmit force to each other in blocking. A player in the apex blocks opponents; teammates of that blocker put their shoulders into a body part (such as the butt) of that blocker, blocking him into the opponent; other teammates similarly block those players, etc. In today’s Federation and NCAA rules, such wedge blocking is still legal; in NFL rules it’s technically illegal but its illegality has not been enforced. --Robert Goodman, coach, and historian of the game]
2. Employ the old-fashioned famed Packer sweep.
[also known as the Lombardi sweep, is an American football play popularized by Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. The Packers sweep is based on the sweep, a football play that involves a back taking a handoff and running parallel to the line of scrimmage before turning upfield behind lead blockers.]
3. As the team approaches the LOS, have them suddenly line up in the wishbone and snap the ball immediately. Have either the hardest or swiftest runner advance the ball.
4. If possible, get hold of one of Robert Reese Neyland's playbooks. Select a play probably least expected by the opposition and run it.
WHY? For goodness’ sake, WHY? Just for the heck of it, you got no sense of hooma? Plus if the things work, it will certainly be talked about. Making Vols-ball the talk of CFB nationwide.
