Misdirection, gimmick, or trick plays, will we see any?

Neither team has a big history of running such plays, other than the bread a butter counters or occasional reverse. These type of plays definitely work best when the team is not desperate for a score.

With two high power offenses, will the OC's stick exclusively to the game plans that brought them to this game or will they sprinkle in some noticeable gimmick plays? Will they do this early on, with a comfortable lead, or only if they fall behind?

Personally, I think Brady has a few gimmick plays designed in addition to the Tigers already powerful varied passing attack. Further, I think he doesn't reserve them for a desperate time in the game. I think it will depend more on the OL play and perceived ability to complete the play cleanly.

I feel if Saban ventures to run a trick play it will be off of a 3rd and long or 4th and short when he is down by a TD or more.

Clyde at QB
Burrow at RB

They ran it once early on in the year and clyde kept it. I can see a hand off and pass to moss from it easily

That's about as fancy as I want us to get. Our offense has done well without it so far. Don't think we will need it this week.

Would very much enjoy a “fake Statue of Liberty” like Oregon did to Michigan that one time....

Misdirection isn't a gimmick or a trick play. It depends on how you define trick play.

I don't think we see a gimmick or trick play because I think we have confidence in our offense and ability to execute our plays.

I would hope we throw several things at them that they haven't seen before.

Maybe an on-side kick.

OR A gadget play.

Is the flea flicker still considered a trick play? Lately everyone's been doing it.

Clyde throwing a 50/50 ball isn't a ridiculous idea either.

I agree but the terms are used interchangeably by many. For instance poster above added "gadget play" to the list.

I would consider, fake FG, statue of liberty, flea flicker, double reverse, optioned RB pass, guard around, etc. To be trick plays.

I’d like to see that double-option play the Saints ran with Line and Taysom.

“Trick” play ? Would be be surprised if we did not see a couple of “very” different plays we have not seen; half-back pass, etc. I expect to see different screens we have not seen; middle screen, etc.
Trick play ? Flea flicker out of the wild Tiger would be a trick play. Throwback to Borrow.
In the run game, a Power I with a FB/TE/RB, & then run a bootleg option run pass for Burrow.
If the O line is holding up, expect more 4 WR & even an occasional 5 WR.
Think the bottom line is keep them guessing, unbalanced & outmof rhythm.I have seen a certain HC with 1st & 2nd half wrist bands that are completely different.
