Scot Loeffler - Counter Play

During the 2011 season, Scot Loeffler improved the Temple run-offense from No. 67 nationally in 2010 to No. 7 in 2011. The Owls went from 150-yards rushing per game in 2010 to 256-yards per game in 2011, utilizing the same two primary runningbacks. One of their most successful running plays was the...

With the loss of Michael Dyer, Auburn relied on Tre Mason and Kiehl Frazier to do the dirty work between the tackles. Mason and Frazier combined for 119-yards and 3 TD's on 25 carries against the Virginia Cavaliers. Mason had a season high, 64-yards rushing on just 9 carries, which included a 22-yard TD run to give Auburn...

A couple of weeks ago Coach Curtis Luper discussed finding ways of putting Michael Dyer, Onterio McCalebb and Tre Mason on the field at the same time. This has been accomplished by lining Mason up in the slot-WR position, though we have only seen all 3 backs on the field at the same time a few times. Coach Luper also...

If Auburn's offensive philosophy is to continue towards a run-oriented attack, I believe it would be wise to involve Tre Mason as much as possible. Obviously, Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb should take the majority of carries at RB but Mason could provide a much needed substitute so that Dyer is not faced with another...

Last season, Onterio McCalebb averaged 8.5 yards per rush, which has dropped to 4.9 yards per carry in 2011. One of the reasons for his drop in production has been the inconsistent blocking on the edge and the perimeter. The loss of Cameron Newton is another factor but Michael Dyer's 7.5 yards per rush in 2011defies the loss of...
