All plays are designed to score except for qn sneaks(and even then). All plays are designed to create a 1 on 1 match up, either a rb on a safety, a wr on a corner, a qb on a linebacker, etc. All plays are designed in an effort to give you the chance to beat someone in a one on one match up, and if this is accomplished, then the chances for a score increase greatly. So yes, all plays are designed to put the players in a position to score a td.

That's what I was saying, but when you game plan, you know that not every play will score. You game plan with the thought of a certain play taking advantage of defensive schemes, whether that be numbers, 1 on 1 matchups, or a boundary/field advantage. That's why LSU and many other teams run speed/ stretch option into the short side of the field, to make the defense commit bodies and scheme somewhere and the use the same formations after that defensive commitment to attack the defense else where. Of course you design each play to score (when executed properly with the defense doing exactly what you KNOW they will do) it just doesn't work out that way because of the human eliment. You can get a lot of tendencies off of film, but the other staff is game planning you just like you are game planning them. Anyone that has played ball understands this.
