I knew Heupel liked to run the rock before he came here, but I didn't know how complex his scheme is until watching this breakdown. I feel like I'm watching what I hoped to see when I was begging for UT to hire Greg Roman as HC in 2012. And I love it.

No, no, no....we always just run the same play up the middle, right? I mean, that's what some people around here would have you to believe.

Well, we do often times. It doesn’t matter what the play could’ve been, should’ve been, would’ve been. If we hand it off for two yards to get stuffed up the middle three times consecutively then that is still exactly what happened.

Yet we lead the conference in rushing and have a back leading in rushing and TD’s
It’s wonder we can run out on the field

Odds would say that if we run it 3x in a row, we get a 1st down.

Looking at Fla when we ran back to back plays:
0, 4
6, 3, sack (nico)
3, 9(hold), -2, 2 (this was on our own 5)
6, 3, 4
15, -2, 5
5, 3, 1, 6
7, 0
8, 2
6, 3, 0
1, 6
2, 1 (nico)
2, 5
-3, 3 (on own 7)
9 (holding), 20
8, 2, 1 (TD)

...which is why the band forms a T.

If our school name started with a Y
...we'd never get all our players out of the north end stands and back to the correct sideline.

Great videos and I noticed the big difference between the 2 offenses would be Bama would have 1 guy who didn't do his job or do it very well and if he did it would be a big gain. They were constantly close.

Maybe this analogy will help. Does a boxer intend to knock out his opponent with a jab? Unless the opponent has a glass job or is taking a dive, no. Those jabs do very little each time. But every time one lands, his opponent starts watching the hand doing the jab. All it takes is for the opponent to forget about the other hand for just a moment and then .....BOOM here comes a right hook that puts them on the canvas. CJH might sacrifice a few drives to make the other DC forget. You fill in the rest.

I like that analogy. It fits remarkably well. Thanks for it!

the fake counter where we Nico hands it to Sampson opposite of the pulling guard and tackle, and the speed option going the opposite side of the QB is my 2 favorite run plays from that game. incredible

They run that counter really well… reminds me of the ole single wing 46 which Johnny Majors ran so well. When the LB’s start reading the pullers they hit them with the counter. My favorite too!

Michael Moorer would agree with that.

Agreed on the counter. The counter you’re talking about is sometimes called a “bash” play. I first saw it under Urban Meyer when he had Tebow. Tebow was a physical inside runner and he has really fast RBs. So instead of having the RB run the main play (counter in this case) and the QB run hold the backside end, you flip the two.

Heupel's run scheme could attract a running back who might finally end the Heisman Trophy jinx at Tennessee.

Might be one way to get Faizon involved early in his career.
