Any thoughts on the fourth down and 1 alignment?

I think we would've moved the chains by just sneaking over the top with Jennings - and they would've actually seen the ball.

we've been doing it for a few yrs now, first with JJ, then Ware last yr, and now Jennings. generally works (glaring exceptions being late vs. Bama last yr and yesterday). I think it was implemented after we got stoned on short yardage plays to the RB a few times in 09 with our then-horrendous run blocking.

liked the call; liked the fact they put Jennings in. I hate the power formation.

IMHO, get in the spread shotgun with 2 backs. give your talent and/or power room to run.

I also loathe the bunch power I with 1 receiver. worked better against A&M than other teams, but for gosh sakes! instead of -2 to 3 yards we were running for 0 to 5 yards. met and obj/landry had

to bail us out over and again on 3rd down. They did a heckuva job. but let me give cam credit. We did at least pass out of the power formations more than normal. it was more creative.

I had a bigger issue with running Magee in goal line..just think backs like Hill and Hilliard are better options

it seldom works well. not from what I've seen. it doesn't leave any room for the qb or back to run.

I just thought the alignment looked odd. Not a negative question. More for knowledge of attempting short yardage. I agree that he actually achieved the necessary distance.

If we had run the option to the wide side of the field from that formation, it would have been a TD. There was NO ONE to stop Hilliard if Jennings had to pitch the ball.
