🏈 Bama’s First Offensive Play?

[alabama mike]

What does the Tide come out and run on its first play from scrimmage?

D Harris inside....bama wants control...you control running the ball....

 

[planomateo]

Run straight up the middle to a Devin White'less defense. Too bad we don't have a running back on the roster with the last name of Billboard.

Jet sweep. Didn't you hear? They're letting Kiffen call the plays this game.

Harris behind Williams for eight yards

Conversely, I wonder if Burrows will try to hit a WR deep like Ole $i$$ did. After all, Haw Haw, et al have been touting their air attack.

I’ve done it for the past several games so why not now,
Touchdown!

Really torn to be honest. I would have to go back and look but I believe we have started most every game with a pass. Will Locks break tendency? I'm taking play-action to Irv Smith in the flat and turned into a 12 yard gain.

This made me think...

- Louisville: D. Harris rush middle for 3 yards (Tua sacked on next play)
- Ark. State: D. Harris rush right for 8 yards
- Ole Miss: Tua 17-yard pass to Irv Smith
- Texas A&M: Tua 30-yard TD pass to Devonta Smith
- ULL: D. Harris rush left for 3 yards
- Arkansas: Tua 76-yard TD pass to Irv Smith
- Missouri: Tua pass incomplete (81-yard TD on the next play)
- Tennessee: Tua 12-yard pass to Irv Smith

Make the fill-in LB cover Harris out of the backfield.

Devin White was primarily a pass rusher if I'm not mistaken.

Glad you took the time to look it up @BamaBoyJosh . My ass was trying to go off of memory, but 5 of 8 have been passes. I still think we go play action or RPO to try and suck the LBs up or catch Delpit up in tight.

 

[Bamabacker]

I'm almost positive that CNS will want to go deep on at least the first two plays to take the crowd down a notch and make a statement. My only caveat would be is if our first possession is at least at our on 30yd.

 

[The Dude]

We win the coin toss and elect to kick ass!

 

[rick4bama]

Hand off to D. Harris around right side for a big gain!

RPO. Either run up the middle or big gain to Irv or Waddle. Just too many options to pick one. .
