re: So how about that trick play?

I'm not a fan of trick plays when we are up against a team we can beat straigh up unless the a situation where the momentum is swinging away from us or some other sort of situational dynamic.
Of course had it worked I would not have complained.

I would have liked a throwback to a WR or RB who was a former QB. Everybody knew it was a fake when Mett and Jennings were both in the game. I've seen that play done a few times already this year, it's usually from the RB/WR or a backul QB known to run. Mett isn't mobile and Jennings was taking the snap. so put two and two together.

If the one defensive end doesn't stay home, then it's a big play, maybe a td. Nobody else from UF was on that side of the field. It's not like we put up 40 pts on Florida. A well executed trick play can help.
As for those complaining about Mett and Jennings being in the game and telegraphing it, did you really thing UF was going to punt late in the fourth? LSU left the defense on the field, but the crazy formation still created enough confusion for Florida to get the first down.

If he had thrown it away behind the line, it would have been grounding and a much bigger penalty. Throwing it forward and taking the 5 was the right decision.
Somebody, please explain what the penalty call is here? If the throw/toss out to the sidelines is behind the line,a legal lateral, then "whoever" out there can still go downfield with it, right?
Or, did it only become "ineligible receiver downfield" when the throw-away crosses the line of scrimmage to avoid "intentional grounding"....so at that point, unless completed behind line of scrimmage, anything else was a penalty, no matter what?

The ball crossing the line resulted in the downfield penalty because the linemen released past the line, which was probably the design of the play. As for throwing away behind the line, that isn't necessarily an automatic grounding penalty, but throwing in the neighborhood of the receiver is risky, and the ref may still misread it and flag you. On a busted screen pass, the QB will just drill the ball into the ground at the RB or WRs feet. That's a lot more difficult to do going across the field. Taking the 5 and playing the next down was just the safest bet.

But if it worked, then it would have been brilliant. Easy to knock it after it doesn't work.

It would've made more sense if Jennings had been the one split out wide. Putting Mett out wide telegraphed the double pass IMO.

Nice play design though

That may be part of the point, though, at least for future use. It would be very easy to run a QB draw the next time with the D focusing on the edges. It would also work with Mett getting the lateral pass and hitting a TE or RB in a wide open middle of the field with the D focused on Jennings. There is a lot they can do with that formation.
It's certainly a lot better play design than the stupid wildcat we used to try and run with RS with no other QB on the field. Everyone in America knew exactly what would happen every time. This formation is much more flexible.
That said, I also wouldn't mind seeing the staff put Jennings out there as a WR a time or two just to add another wrinkle for opposing coaches to think about.

i liked to see some trickery.. not much this year because we haven't really needed any

So you, like so many, only complain when plays don't work. The "after the fact" football genius.
