2nd and 7 in the third

Last year, we would almost always run it on 2nd and 10. It would usually go for 2 yards and we’d have 3rd and 8.

With 7 or so minutes in the third, it looked like we were going to run it up the middle like usual. Clemson’s LB runs right through an opening in the line, wide open towards the RB, but it’s an RPO! Nuss pulls it and hits Anderson for a quick slant 1 yard short of the first down. Then Nuss does the fake check with me move and sneaks it for the first.

I’m sure you’ve all seen the videos of Sloan calling some creative plays this game and this is just an RPO, but really encouraged by just doing the simple things well too.
