I hate that Lee gives a hand signal to our backs on certain run plays that are a very easy tell to the defense that we are running the ball. Does anyone else see this?


I agree, especially when he does it on first or second down. It's a clear signal to the defense that the Tigers are going to run the ball. Lee is just designating the path based on the alignment of the defense.

I have noticed some very nice gains on some of those plays, though.

Maybe, just maybe, one of these big games, the Tigers will play-action off of that. I haven't seen it yet, though.

This has been going on for several years, maybe since Crowton got here, or, perhaps, even Miles.

I assume we will play action off this as well, and noticed that we finally started to mix up the direction of the runs.

Lee signaled left a few times, and we ran right. I'm not sure how they designate when to do that, but we were definitely doing so. Watched replay last night to confirm.
