Charhair 345 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I recently watched the 2013 SEC title game again and at one point, one of the announcers was commenting on the complexity of our offense. How when Gus gets it rolling, he calls the "same" play. And even though it looks like just a read with Nick and Tre, our linemen were picking up different defenders and assignments everytime and that Nick and Tre were well aware of this and following those blocks. But it allowed Mizzou to never be able to guess where the ball was going even though we were essentially calling the same play a very high number of times. I'd never heard the offense explained like that. Do y'all agree with that break down of it/agree with the offensive decision behind it? Because it seemed like the perfect answer to why Gus is so "predictable". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,580 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 On the read option, you can switch who is being blocked and whom is getting read. One play will have the end read, the next the OLB, the next the DT, the next the ILB. Doing so really messes with the defensive players minds. The D will see the same backfield motion and could be potentially blocked by three different players or left completely alone and made to look foolish. When the blocking schemes and reads are changed without tendency, running the same play is very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still hurry up and run our "read" play that would always be a keep by the HB. Just because everyone knows/thinks the QB won't keep, it wouldn't inhibit us from switching up our OL assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
