Yeah, and correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t we the only team that does this? To me this falls under... if it was so awesome, everyone would be doing it!

Maybe it's one of those tendencies Gus wants to establish so that he can break it against Alabama for a big gain that gets called back for a stupid penalty.

Sizzle 3,909 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 They hop when they’re running in motion back to the QB. Look at the slant completion to Schwartz in the first quarter. The RB hopped then but that was a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not hopping because they weren’t being motioned. If you hop and not in motion then that’s a false start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB can hand the ball off, keep it and run it, or pull it and throw it. I guess you could say it’s play action if he pulls it and throws it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't 100%. not even close. Maybe on the highlight video, but not over an entire game. Someone mention the hop a few weeks ago, and I have been watching for it since. I noticed plenty of "hops" when there was a pass play, and plenty of "non hops" during run plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure if someone else did, but I definitely mentioned it after the UF game.) Maybe it's just something we teach to keep the RBs better prepared for motion, period.

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not sure if this is on every play but I did notice that the RBs hop In running plays when watching the highlights. Never noticed it before this game. HJ gives a major bunny hop before he scores. maybe it is good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we are not teaching that. We do hop a lot more often on Run plays. If they are being taught to hop on run plays, they should hop every play. I mean, it cant hurt to hop on a pass pay can it? i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were a few things the QBs and RBs repped a ton in camp to help with timing. Doesn’t make it okay but it may be part of that. I’ll investigate.
