I like the fact our diverse our offense has gotten

One little gem I remember hearing, last season our WR's had something like 95 catches total for the season (not that attactive)

This year more of the same, about 95 catches to the wide outs.... but, almost 75 carries!

These guys almost doubled their touches from last year and we are doing it effectively! These jet sweeps for whatever reason are loosening these defensive causing DG5 and DW28 to find nice holes right up the middle


My question

Is this supposed to be a triple read option and we just don't have the QB play? Or are these jet sweeps hard called from Canada in the booth. Meaning does Danny know that he's going to hand the ball off on the jet sweep or does he see an alignment issue and then he hands the ball off or what?

Thanks!

Everything is hard called. Very few teams will actually run anything option based unless it’s their scheme. Auburn didn’t even run much option with Cam Newton or Nick Marshall

You heard completely wrong. This season our wr's have a total of 60 catches. This season our wr's have a total of 50 rushing attempts LINK

IMO this is a RPO offense and we are just waiting for a competent QB to throw strikes consistently up the seems and on slants. If he can run all the better, but the first priority is a quick release and accuracy. I don't even think Canada has made it an option for Etling to decide if he wants to hand the ball off or jerk it and sling it. To answer your question, yes, the play is predetermined.

Some of Danny Etlings double clutch hesitations were kind of funny in the second half. Kind has heart but the pressure of the moment makes him shite bricks in the pocket.

Wait till next year!! Dilly Dilly!
