This is play acting. There are 11 acts in one play. Faking one play and running another is what this underappreciated facet of football is all about.
Force was the forerunner of finesse. After two runners gained 38 yards on six powerful rushes in eight plays, Alabama faced second-and-goal from Michiganās 2-yard line midway through the first quarter.The play: AJ McCarron stood under center with Jalston Fowler at fullback and Eddie Lacy at tailback in the I-formation. Tight end Michael Williams lined up tight to the right. DeAndrew White was the lone wide receiver, split just a little to the left. H-back Brian Vogler lined up behind Williams.
The action: Vogler went in motion to the left. McCarron took the snap and turned right, faking a pitchout to Lacy. The offensive line unloaded straight ahead. Michigan linebackers Jake Ryan and Cam Gordon fired into the backfield, chasing Lacy. Williams rolled right toward the back pylon. Ryan turned and chased, but he was far too late. McCarron lobbed the ball to the wide-open Williams.
Touchdown.
How about that play-action execution?
