Things Bajakian didn't understand, that hopefully Debord does

I don't have a problem with it either. It's a good play to mix up the defense and get the ball in the hands of playmakers. However, as I said before, we ran it wayyyy too much. And it's not always the appropriate play and that never stopped Coach Jake.

Mizzou was eating it up every time we threw it, and we just kept throwing it. Over, and over, and over. Vandy played us like they expected it every play, and they blew it up every time we threw it.

From my own (admittedly limited) observations, a lot of UT's problems on WR screens could be fixed if UT's receivers will spend some time improving their blocking.

-The WR Screen is not the greatest play in all of football.

-Run Hurd to the outside. He is best on the perimeter.

-Probably more of a Butch call, but don't go over-conservative because we went up by a point.

-When you successfully perform the quick hit over the middle to the tight end, that doesn't mean abandon it for the rest of the game.

-Actually, when you run any play that's successful, that doesn't mean abandon it for the rest of the game.

That's all I can think of for the moment.
I agree.

We should have walked a receiver out late and snap the ball before the defense can adjust.:thud:

Wow, so you think he called a lot of screens because he liked them? We couldn't block long enough for normal route tree passing. It was done out of necessity.

I'm afraid your correct sir, the Oline did dictate several play calls that took minimal blocking time last year. Let's hope even though the line may be essentially the same players as last year, that they improve tremendously this year!

Our 'O' should be a able to keep the 'D' off balance and guessing if we have the right play calling. We do have the personnel . :yes:

What plays are you talking about?

Every time Bama pulled the late receiver trick it was either on the first play of a possession, or coming out of a timeout. Entry onto the field is only substitution in two instances:

1. When a player enters in place of another player already on the field (this never happened).

2. When any player enters during the period between downs (which is why Bama only did it at the start of possessions or coming out of a timeout).

When the ref blows the whistle ready for play and someone runs on the field that is a substitution.

It's called the ten second run off rule. bubba won't get away with that sh!t this year. :no:

No it isn't. From the rulebook:

Substitution Procedures
ARTICLE 1. Any number of legal substitutes for either team may enter the game between periods, after a score or try, or during the interval between downs only for the purpose of replacing a player(s) or filling a player vacancy(ies).
Legal Substitutions
ARTICLE 2. A legal substitute may replace a player or fill a player vacancy provided none of the following restrictions is violated:
a. No incoming substitute shall enter the field of play or an end zone while the ball is in play.
b. No player, in excess of 11, shall leave the field of play or an endzone while the ball is in play.

The bold is mine.

If you'd like to check it out yourself, click HERE and go to page 55. You'll see absolutely nothing about the ref's whistle.

The ten second runoff rule was voted down and never implemented. And even if it had been, it wouldn't have applied since it only applies to substitutions, and Bama didn't substitute.

Team A is in a no huddle formation and substitutes, or if they have already broken the huddle and a substitute then enters the field, either of these situations will trigger the administration of Rule 3-5-2-e. Team B is afforded a match up opportunity if they do so immediately (3 seconds). If Team A does not substitute and is in a hurry-up mode, Team B must be prepared to react promptly and is not afforded any match-up
provisions. These are the mechanics we will use for this rule.

This was taken from the officiating manual for 2011. Couldn't find 2014 and this rule is unchanged.

You may have the rule but this is the administration of it.

If I had an "I wish", I would say please stop wasting downs from the opponent 40 to the start of the red zone. Stop throwing the 40 yard fade route, and keep doing what got you into that position. How many drives did our boys have that ended at the red zone extended because we threw a play away by "taking a shot" or running a long pass play that gets sacked for a loss. I'm no expert by any means, btw.

If the defense setup up to throw a WR Screen throw it, if Hurd can get outside...run it, if TE is open throw it to him, all pretty simple. Remember, OC call what the Defense gives. I have no problem with the play calling, execution is another discussion. I do agree with the double reverse....that works against Vandy, Kentucky and any FCS team.

Stryker won't be in our backfield this year.... we will have an answer for him.:good!:
I have a feeling by the end of our game with OU, Mr. Stryker will simply "not want no mo'." He'll be doing a Manti Teo late in our game, tying his shoe, falling down, bad angles, just whooped.
