You noticed the one successf push into the end zone was with the I formation. Troll after troll laughed at me on here when I talked about the formation working inside the ten. Bama even called a damn time out to try to plan for it and still couldn’t stop it.

When you are inside the 10 and you have five wide receivers on the field, you are fcking up.

I was glad to see at least we tried something new inside the 10 because what he had been doing all year was not working. We've certainly critiqued our coached for all the things we think they did wrong yesterday, that one was a win for our coaches.

Wish we'd had more.

That should be incorporated in the offense period.

I agree. We have the personnel. Defenses aren't able to adapt to it well. Again, Bama had to call a timeout because of it.

We should 100% be running it in the RZ from here on out.

Loved Grace as FB and the team actually were able to line up and hit.

Sometimes old tried and true things shouldn’t be thrown out… and CFB got so quick to go away from I-form smashmouth football that now the ones picking it back up are successful.

Will Stein at Oregon 89% red zone scoring in 2024. 85.5% in 2025. Used I formation in side the 10 a lot. Oh, yeah, with Grace. Who is now at LSU.

Yeah, this kind of stuff needs to be in the playbook. Throw a wishbone in there every now and then. The LB's would be like "WTH is this".

But seriously I think a struggling OL could benefit with some play action. I've been clamoring for play action. It works, that is why it is used in the NFL all the time. The QB in shotgun meshing with the RB doesn't hit the same.
