re: Jet Sweep Option

I'd love to see LSU run a play similar to what the Saints ran on Sunday on 4th down. Give to the WR on the sweep, but have the running back (Guice) trailing and make a pitch to him once the defense commits.

Lol, I thought about same thing. Have doubts about it working exactly that way but I can't help but think of Dillon and Guice running some sort of option out of a regular jet sweep formation.

I noticed a lot of the times they faked it, but went up the middle, the jet sweep option was wide open

Many times that's a pre-snap judgement on what the def end will be doing... upfield or stay at home. If DE is pushing upfield, many times they'll try it regardless of LBs or S because it's good for a couple yards (as long as runner cuts inside and doesn't run away from LoS, which they FINALLY taught Gage to do). It's a RPO, but guessing instead of reading the end (based on tendencies).
