Why do we run up the middle on....

[WiseOlVol]

2nd and 10 ?

Tricking nobody.

2nd and 10 ?

Tricking nobody.

To set up the play actions that leave Hyatt wide open all the time.

Not every play has to be a "trick". This is why nobody here is a dang coach.

 

[TnVol!]

To set up the 66 points we are going to score.

But it does trick people sometimes.

 

[Pump Guy]

I hate it that we don't score on every play.

Why are you concerned? We won by 42 points!? Is it impossible to enjoy a compete blowout? Do we need to break out the cattle prod?

 

[WiseOlVol]

Isn't it better to score on 2nd rather than 3rd?

 

[esarmstrong]

It would be more entertaining if we could score on every play or just one play sooner. Setting a school record for offense just isn't doing it for me anymore...

 

[BACKDOC]

Yeah, throwing on every play almost gave the game to Oregon a few minutes ago.

As they say on Family Feud…..Good Answer, Good Answer!!

Did you see all those long runs late in the game?

Heupel likes to take chances on 1st. He likes to run on second and see where he’s at for 3rd. If their in positive territory he might even run on 3rd too if he knows their going to go on 4th……..goes back to his 2nd decisions…….to see where there at.

Did you make it? Do you need 2 yards or less or do you have to pass?

Heupel spreads you out. He runs a lot and up the middle a lot…….forcing you to defend everything and everywhere.

This opens up the long passes and it eventually opens up gaping holes and Tennessee gets 10-20 yards on them.

Tennessee ran the ball 37 times for 7.1 PER.

Okay…..besides that???!

Some of it is simply keeping the ball close to the line to the line so they can run up and snap before the defense is ready on 3rd.

Most I've laughed in days

Run it straight up the middle
Safety “oh crap they running and takes a couple steps forward”

Run it straight up the middle
Safety “oh crap they running and takes a couple steps forward”

Play action or RPO pass
Safety takes a couple steps forward “oh crap they passing”……..he gets burned.

Post of the night!!!

If we didn't run up the middle, they would add another defender to the edges. Also, it is an easy play to get set for another quick snap.

 

[first time caller]

Gee, so much to football.

Sampson is the real deal.

 

[1986sugarvols]

Helps add up to the 268 total yards rushing.

 

[rdk4121]

It is usually a set up play to make third down more manageable. Running allows us to use our tempo as well.

I love that Heupel/Golesh are thinking 2-3 plays ahead, using one play to set up the next. Chess vs defense's checkers.
