1. Florida snaps the ball and hits Murphy in the face.

2. O-line "freeze"

3. Peterman's lame duck throw.


On a side note: I'm still not sure what the O-line "freeze" is designed to accomplish.

O-line freeze is two prong.
1. Discipline
2. Makes the encroachment call that much easier to make for the black and whites.

There is quite the debate going on about this on here. It is genius or stupid....or that fine line in between? :detective:

I could be wrong, but I believe it is a fake snap count, designed to draw the defense off sides. it workEd well against Western Kentucky, but when we played Florida, the penalty was never called and instead we got busted for an offenseive pass interference call.

overall, it is a high risk play, especially if it fails. but when it succeeds, the reward can be very very good.

I could be wrong but I don't recall it working against WKU. I thought it was incomplete on an int. negated by the off-sides.

If it is offsides (which it was) and the lineman don't move, I'm assuming that is supposed to confuse the D and could end up in a touchdown on a free play? Speculating because I don't understand why sit there. If its offsides its offsides.

the sad thing is there were so many more "not top plays" that could have qualified.

When the o line doesn't move, it should be any easy call, and shows the offense can't be flagged for drawing the D offsides. In return, it a free play for a shot downfield, and if it goes sour, will be a replay of down. Atleast thats what it should be, but wasnt so much Saturday.

There was no offsides, the Florida player had jumped back onsides before the snap, then they bulrushes our QB while our OL just sat there, crushed our QB, breaking his hand, and we got a 15 yard penalty.

Taking all of that into context, it had to be the worse play of the week

And that Offensive pass interference call was a terrible call on an uncatchable ball

It is, but offsides is not a dead ball fowl, the play goes on until the whistle is blown. If Peterman would have thrown a touchdown, no PI call and it was offsides, the offsides penalty would have been declined by Butch, TOUCHDOWN, TENNESSEE!!!

True. But, i guess you could say it "worked" in that we got a free 5 yards on it with the chance of a big play. If the receiver can get open, then yeah, it's a big gain. But if not, then the risks far outweigh the rewards.

I guess the only time I can really see it is if you're trying to lure the defense offsides to get the first down, but usually even then the d-line is waiting on you to bait them into jumping.

Again, too much risk for me.

Its not a called play. We ran the exact same thing at my hs. If the center sees someone jump offsides, the ball is snapped. It is purely a reaction to the offsides. The point of the "freeze" is to force the zebras to throw flag. Qb should take a 2 step and throw the ball before ever being touched by a defensive player. Peterman got hurt because he ran around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Yes, when the QB is as slow as a turtle recognizing what just happened himself and then tries to make a 5 step drop and throw the bomb.
Watch the other QB execute it properly against WKU. Quick snap, quick 2-3 step drop, launch a 50-50 ball. If you actually caught them offsides (hehe), then you get a 50-50 chance of a big play or the guarantee of a 5yd penalty. Good odds.

i understand the center snapping the ball,but why should the rest of the OL sit there in there stance ? they should hit somebody,to save the QB
