🏈 Get the f*** under center

[Tidestalker]

Just try it... lol

I know, Jalen got under center late in the 4th.

But watching 3 big ass RB's take a hesitation step on a delay handoff, every running play from shotgun, is painful. Let these dudes get a head of steam and pummel the sh*t out the defense.

If I have to apologize to Lane Kiffin because Saban only wants to run shotgun plays, I'm going to be a sad SOB. Hoping we come around to running an offense that fits these RB's. It would be fun to watch.

I remember one time under center last night, Jalen got REKT before he could finish his drop.

Our OL sucks.

Can we hire Stoutland back?

Screw the drop back... Just to run the ball better. Sucks watching the big RB's start their runs damn near flat footed.

Then that creates a tendency if all we do is run from under center. Our OL can barely pass block in the gun. They sure as shit can't block under center, as evidenced last night.

Maybe they gel and we can start using both run and pass from under center more, deeper into the season.

At least use a little more pistol till they gel.

But what's the use of hitting a hole full-speed if a hole isn't there?

One run of 12+ yards last night. One. One play where they actually did their job and blocked their assignments as designed.

But maybe FSU's DL is just THAT good. May be the best DL unit we will face all season.

Remember it well! We were going PA pass and Jalen couldn't complete the fake and drop to take a deep shot! He had to bail and go to his left and throw it away.

Best damn DL and entire D we will likely face this season!

What kind of tendancy does it create when every run for 3 quarter is out of shotgun? lol

And it's a hell of a lot better to hit a non-hole at full speed then flat footed.... Bo ran some poor dude over in an under center run with about 5 mins left, fell forward for 4 yards. Beats the no momentum 5 yard run to get back to the LOS.

I'm not saying under center all game every game... But more than once or twice in the first 3 quarters.

All this time I thought it was just d bag Kiffin that refused to play under center, but it must be Saban.

I believe so at least until the playoffs. I don't understand why everybody thinks we did so bad against them. We stood toe to toe and won. We made the plays when we had to make them. It was #1 against #3. It was supposed to be a tough game. We're much better off having played FSU than Fresno State the first game.
All of us know that we have the staff to mold these young men into our next National Champions. When we play top level opposition, we can expect tougher games and there will be a few times we'll come up short. We didn't last night. So let us be glad, rejoice and enjoy the hell out of it.

Under center or not, we obviously have made a concerted effort to be a lot more physical at the LOS and really throughout the team. I know that will continue to be emphasized because that is the mindset Bama felt let them down last season. Henry won a Heisman with the QB in the pistol.
