I've been wondering where the eff that plays been.

Especially considering the qb can't see above the dashboard......I can see how the LBs get fooled long enough for stallworh et al to break into the secondary for 5+ easy.

We need to run that with dixon or ducre(hell, anyone but elliot) with bumphis running the wildcat(or whatever the bulldog equiv is called). Hell, that's a great decoy. But it needs to be a possesion down out of the red zone.

Seems like we ran on 3rd and 3ish from our own 25ish. Great call.

Why in the ##!! didn;t we run it in a game when it really mattered. The GREAT thing about it of course is that even if TL effs it up its an incomplete pass.

We have ran that play every game...tyson has an option on both sides of him. He can pitch it to the inside man(he finally did against mtsu) or he can go to the outside man. I agree though I do love the inside option and wish tyson would take that option more but dixon came very close to putting that one on the ground b/c he was not expecting the pitch.

we're still learning the offense. I think we'll have it in by the end if the season.

We have to make sure that we master the fundamental plays- let's face it, some of the handoffs are adventures for our guys- before we start doing some of the other things.

...we play volleyball with the football sometimes. I could see us bobbling the ball right into the hands of a linebacker who takes it the other way for six.

Dan Mullen really deserves a lot of credit for inventing a cool play like this. I'm sure other schools will start using it now. It's almost like he should have put a patent on it lol...

I like it a variation of that play using the TE in motion with one back. I'm waiting to see Marcus Green used there. Maybe a wrinkle for the Mississippi game.
