Against UF, we constantly used our slot receiver by putting him in motion and faking the reverse to neutralize the DE/LB on that side. It seemed to be very successful.

By memory, I think I saw us run that play once against UGA. Any idea why they decided not to use it?

Need to run the read option and let Dobbs run with it. He's fast and slippery and can gain atleast 10 yards if the DE crashes inside

Not sure, but Chavis will attack the mesh point if we start running it. Look at Clemson against Auburn. The play, while effective, has a weakness, and it's attack it right at the mesh point.

I'm not saying we shouldn't, but we need to open up and add a wrinkle or two to it.

Dobbs kept the ball on the read option twice the whole game against Georgia.

If your going to run that type of offense you have to let the QB keep it 6 to 10 times a game to keep the defense honest.

In looking at other read option teams, some of the keep the ball in the belly longer and take a couple steps with the RB before pulling it down and running. I would like to see an option from that formation, and fake it to the RB, and take a couple steps with the ball and option it off to a second RB going to the outside. I wish they had a throw back play like I've seen other teams do.
