Gavin overthrows Young coming out of the backfield and the pass is picked off for a TD. KYK leaps out of the stands to tell Schiano I told you so.
Predict the first offensive play and the result.

I'm expecting (hoping) our OL is too big for their DL. Our guys are more experienced together and they've lost their best DLman.
Of note, have you seen their OL depth chart? Of 10 - 3 true frosh, 1 RS frosh a couple of RS sophomore and 3 seniors, hmmm. Could be a fun day for our D.

Interesting that some have Young involved.
Do you think both Young and Brown are in the field? Or just Young.
I assumed Brown would start but not really sure why.
After thinking about it - seeing Kyle out there first play wouldn’t be weird either.

Don’t know what we have there yet. TBD. That team was just better designed to convert big plays.
We’re obviously not playing a style with a full back now, but Burton was an elite blocker that I don’t think we have at any position. We clearly don’t have a stud receiver like Caroo, and GW would have to improve a lot to be comparable to Nova, so….
On the plus side, I’m hopeful that our defense will be better than that team was. Maybe significantly so.
What do we do? RUN THE BALL! Where do we run it? UP THE MIDDLE!
Good to see the usual suspects are in mid-season form. I hope the Offense is as well oiled.
I have no problem with a zone read as our first play of the game. Would love to see us run the ball well and wear them down and take our shots when available. Defense needs to terrorize NW.

They will both be on the field together often I bet provided hes 100% healthy. Young has always shown good potential to be a receiving back. And he’s an above average blocker. I’m choosing my words carefully there. I don’t think he’s elite compared to a player like Burton (just referenced) but he’ll easily be one of our best blocking options even when not getting hand offs.
How about this as a season-opening first play?
August 28, 2014 in Seattle. Nova to Caroo for 78 yard TD. Fridge was OC.

I was just going to say the same play but I will call it 17 yards.
I wouldn't mind that as the first play, and if it isn't there Wimsatt can run like a deer for a first down.
Washington State thought they were going to roll us that day.
On another team's board someone correctly guessed the first play would be time out to prevent a delay. he was immediately deified
Motion Langan across the formation left to right. RPO reading a slant, flat, or run. SB is given the ball for a 3.5 yard gain.
That is what everyone is thinking. So I would go with a waggle and completion to our starting TE, either Bowman or Johnny.
Read option. Gavin keeps goes outside the collapsing DE and picks up 7yards.
Or we spike the ball.

love that.. and he ran straight to the sideline.. no excessive celebration or chest-thumping. Well done.
Just realized that if it were incomplete I would have complained that it wasn't play-action.. no effort to make D think Run. Didn't even line up the RB closer to teh QB.
called back because it is illegal now.
Is The Fumblerooski Legal? In addition to being banned by college football in the 1990s, in the NFL, if this play is run today, it's considered an intentional forward fumble, which becomes classified as an incomplete pass. If a quarterback places the ball behind him, the play is still legal.
