NCAAF Rule Book: page 3433
_________________________________________________
-------Rule# 23.o.34r-2: An SEC team is allowed to use more than one trick play in a game.

-------Rule# 23.o.34r-3: An SEC team is allowed to use the same trick play twice in one year; in two different games.

He had to use the fake field goal, per the rule book.

Trick plays don't bother me...

Giving up special teams TDs does.

Do we have any more in the bag?


No concern at all. Trick plays not only used for a spark if you will, but are also used when you see something that can be exploited. Florida had a highly ranked rush defense. Everyone is running to 7 when he gets the ball because I'm starting to get convinced that not even Chuck Norris could stop him, so that we knew would work. Same thing with special teams fakes. You know they will only work if there is a flaw in the other teams coverage or plan of attack. You don't just use them because you have to, you use them when you know they will work too.

The Flea Flicker should be employed a lot more in my opinion because with a back like LF it is just as good if not better than a play action pass if the pass protection is there.

We should run a flea flicker at least once a game. It will almost always work. Benefit of having GOATnette.

The fleaflicker actually gives the D something else to think about when 7 takes the handoff, which helps going forward more than it hurts.

Honestly with as little respect as this passing game gets, I would run the flea flicker three times a game. It's essentially the same as a play action pass for our purposes.


Also, if we don't spot them 7 to start the game, we don't need the fake FG to win it. So... no I'm not worried at all.

No. It concerns me more that LSU gave the Gators 14 points on special team mishaps.

Why are so many constantly "concerned" and sooo negative.

Just enjoy the season. This is really special.

I have a conjecture, which I consider only partially seriously: Les Miles opted for 2 trick plays, (the toss back) very deliberately and the fake FG (because the window of opportunity was open) because he wanted to put egg on the face of talking heads spouting the "LSU is a 1 trick pony".

Critics chanted the claim that LSU has the LF7 running attack and nothing else using the words "LSU is a 1 trick pony". Miles called 2 "trick" plays, which is 2 tricks to shoot down that letter of the claim. Additionally, Harris's performance silenced the spirit of the claim by successfully mounting a balanced attack.

I do not see these calls as an ominous portent of relying on gimmicks. I see these calls as a reminder this is the same coach who lead the 2007 squad, and the simply correct capitalization on opportunity. If games down the line have situations which warrant them, I do think more trickeration is on the way. I just plan on enjoying the ride!

First it was too bland of play calls, now it's too many trick plays in one game. What will make you fricking people happy?

NO! Both worked. It will bother me when we call 5 or 6 and they aren't working.
