Offensive Scheme Breakdown

I saw some other commentary that said it was Dobbs running ability that forced both defenders outside to cover the flat, leaving the Croom wide open in the middle.

I just wish we could pick up the length of a football in the red zone in order to get the TD!!!

Another reason that play worked: Dobbs' mobility. Dobbs evaded the initial pressure by stepping to his right and up and thus allowing himself that little extra moment of time to go through his progressions to see Pearson.

Thank goodness Pearson just stopped running once he realized he was open. Had he kept running he might have just run back into coverage.

JMO, our OL isn't mature enough yet to play straight- ahead smash-mouth football. Our run game seems predicated on distraction and deception, but it is working. Kudos to the players and coaches for their heart and perseverance last night.

Smash concept on both plays.

Pretty easy read for the QB and a stalwart in the league and CFB.

It happens. Just from the pic I'd say the circled SC player in the bottom right probably should've covered him and did'nt.

Also from the pic, you can clearly see it wasn't even the same play.

The play against Bama is in a different formation.

I don't think the circled player missed his assignment. The defense looked like zone man blitz or something. I think the circled player was the zone or QB spy and the rest of the backfield was man.

I think it was more just a terrible defensive play call and we were able to capitalize on it.

It's the same route concept. The playcall was similar enough. Both roll outs to a snag concept in a bunch alignment. The backside receiver was not really an option for Dobbs. It wasn't exactly the same play, but the point is evident. We rolled out Dobbs and ran snag with bunch both times. His progression was exactly the same.

That was clearly man coverage. Pig, Pearson, and Johnson all were locked down in man. The guy who should've been covering Croom tried to jump the flat route and got burnt. This was a mistake, not a zone coverage.
