Spotlight on Quan Bray

[StatTiger 3,188]

As the season has progressed, D'haquille Williams is receiving more attention from opposing defenses. With this in mind, it is up to the Auburn coaching to staff to create opportunities for the other receivers to make plays. LSU's game plan was to take away Williams, forcing Auburn to generate plays from other personnel. Duke Williams was held to just 2 receptions, limited to only 5 passes thrown in his direction. Of his 2 receptions only 1 was an impact play. Auburn was able to counter with 6 impact plays to Auburn's remaining receivers.

The play...

On this play Auburn faces a 3rd & 3 from their own 47-yard line. Auburn comes out in a 4-WR look with trips to the wide-side of the field. The 3 receivers on the wide side are initially stacked before C.J. Uzomah shifts from the top of the stack towards the backfield. The purpose of shifting Uzomah is for pass-protection, because Nick Marshall will roll to his right after the snap.

Duke Williams at the front of the "stack" will run a rub route between the 2 DB's. Quan Bray will shadow behind Williams to run an out-pattern towards the sideline. Nick Marshall rolls to his right after taking the snap, quickly firing the pass out to Quan Bray.

Bray hauls in the pass and turns up field and down the sideline for a 19-yard gain and an Auburn first down. Auburn targeted 9 different players in their passing game against LSU. The six impact pass-plays away from Duke Williams netted 185-yards.

Loved this! I felt like CAP and Uzomah were also especially effective targets; but I'm really psyched that Quan is having this kind of year.
