🏈 First Play From Scrimmage vs Texas

[alabama mike]

I am going with Gibbs off left tackle.

Ewers to Whittington on a quick slant.

Come on Terry, you know it's going to Agiye.

I think (hope) Bama wants to establish the run, so I'm opting for a Young to Prentice 12-yard play.

In Saturday's game thread I put the over/under for people complaining about Texas hitting those quick patterns at six. If Texas gets a decent number in the YAC box? We might have to bump that to 10.

Latu for 5 yards.

I can see on of those deflecting off the hands for a pick 6 the other way.

I had last week's pretty much spot on. This week I think we try a quick hitter to Burton or Preston and let them see what they can do with the ball out in the boundary.

He had accuracy issues in fall camp. I know he threw one last week but I didn't see the play.

It's like Saban's HS CG. He asks the coach what play to run on the last and deciding play of the game. Coach tells him it is his call but that he has an All-State RB and an All-State WR so at the end of the play he expects the ball to be in the hands of one of them.

For the last several years a play-action pass by Bama has gone for a first down or a TD. Almost. Every. Time. First play. Last play. Any play.

With Texas certainly expecting a run, I would expect to see a play-action pass play. A legit play-action whereby Young damn near has to take the ball away from the RB. Not a half-ass fake handoff.

Probably just a run left....get jitters out....
Then BY takes over moving team with out patters to wide receivers

 

[sean]

4 verticals.....score

Dreaming? Maybe. But I like to dream. And sometimes, dreams do come true.

Bama first play will probably be a wr screen.

Texas will do rpo.

It was rough call, receiver was nearby but defender was obviously less covered and the better option. Basically he rolled out had 2 receivers and 4 defenders in a small area to the short side of the field and just threw it into the glob right to the defender. A couple plays before that they tried a long bomb with a wide open WR who ended up having to stop the safety from picking it off. Ball was way underthrown and not on target.
