Another play Auburn attempted to burn the aggressive LSU defense with was the counter play from the zone-read look. Auburn executed the play with Jonathan Wallace in at quarterback. The play was successful with Onterio McCalebb and Tre Mason carrying the football.

The play...

On this play Auburn faces a 2nd & 7 from their own 34-yard line. At the snap, Jonathan Wallace hands off to Onterio McCalebb, who takes a step to his right, cutting back to the left. Chad Slade and Brandon Fulse pull from right to left to help open up a running lane for McCalebb. The play results in a 23-yard gain but came one foot from possibly going 66-yards for a touchdown.

Same play different formation and back...

After the 23-yard gain by McCalebb, Auburn executes the same play but from a different formation and personnel look. The counter play with McCalebb was executed with a 2-TE set and 2-WR's. The counter play with Tre Mason is from a 3-WR set. Before the snap, Mason is lined up in the pistol formation before shifting to the left of Jonathan Wallace.

Just as McCalebb did, Mason takes the hand off, stepping to his right and then cutting back to his left. The edge is not clear for Mason so he cuts the play back inside, picking up 8-yards on 1st down. Chad Slade pulls along with Philip Lutzenkirchen.
