One of you geniuses explain this to me...
Even if this guy could read every play call with his binoculars and manage a way to communicate that in time to the defense for it to make a difference, how in the hell is that beneficial against an option offense? Ole Miss runs a handful of plays - it wouldn't be hard to decipher the code if you wanted to. Hell, I bet every defensive staff worth their paycheck knows the play calls based on situation, personnel, and formation.
The play calls aren't what make their offense work. It's tempo and giving the QB the ability to take what the defense shows on every play that makes it effective. From each called play, the QB has many options including a run/pass decision. It's a reactive offense on the fly at the line of scrimmage. I love the approach, but play calling creativity is not one of the reasons it is effective. If this guy in the box was savvy enough to crack the code (which was changed, btw) and figure out the play call, he would have had to master the art of telepathy to read Wallace's mind and to tell all those players on defense what to expect as Wallace was reading the defense and taking the snap.
Bitching about this shows a lot of ignorance about how their own offense actually works and is 100% sour grapes. Perhaps Alabama shut them out because they contained the edge, disguised their coverages to prevent Wallace from making an easy read, and let superior talent take it from there? No, couldn't be that....
