There are strategic reasons to use it. It's no different than any other play in that it can be called at awful times or at good ones

Any Off. play, if executed and blocked is designed to be successful; what is successful?? That would depend on the down and game situation. It could be 2 yds and a first down, or 6 yds. and make a move on the safety for a big gain.. Its all realtive. As far as running the same plays over and over, thats not as dumb as some think, if its your game plan and your players execute and out play the other guy, it will work. Look at the Georgia and Arkansas game. We changed nothing, we just executed our blocking up front and the lanes opened up. In the NC game, that never happened.
