🏈 AL A BAM A’S first Play From Scrimmage vs. Oklahoma?

What will you call?

Not the first play necessarily, but somewhere in the script I'd like to see a deep shot early... One thing this Bama offense needs, is to get the downfield/deep passing back on track. They've had some timing issues, some drops, and a few bad throws all mixed together the past few games... OU's defense is susceptible to giving up some, they are last in the SEC in giving up pass plays of 30+ yards. I would really like to see Milroe hit on some Saturday night... and not because they have to, but because they can.

Depending on opening field position, say -35 at worst, I’d call a shot play like that! I recall when I was coaching HS, our HC talked all week about going play-action first play. Friday comes and a bad kick had us at the -22. Coach started getting cold feet. I told him to go ahead and call it. We did. 78 yard and the tone was set.

I’ll go with zone read Keep by Jalen for 8.

Would be great to see.

Would like to see running back take it for about 10-15 yards.

False start on proctor.
Then, bubble screen to Bernard for 18 yds.

Weather may dictate.
Off left tackle....
Tone set. We are gonna run the ball on them

Play action should be the first play of every game. Until it doesn't work. And then go back to it the next game because opponent thinks you won't run it again after it didn't work.

I tell you what I don't wanna see: Run plays up the middle.

LOL, you're probably gonna be a little disappointed...
