I'm not an analyst by any stretch of the imagination. Nor could find a suitable video excerpt of the play I now mentioned. In this play, Hyatt and another wide split WR, changed places. When the ball was snapped, the WRS took off, and changed places on the run. This seemed to freeze the one that should have guarded Hyatt. By the time he realized his error, Jalin was already well behind him and a hop, skip, and jump from the checkerboard. I thought this play was rather interesting, as I'd never noticed it before. I recall Heupel saying before the season, they'd add new wrinkles to the offense, so I guess this was one of them.

I saw that too, I dont know if Im correct in this but, I understood them to say when Tillman got hurt Hyatt basically moved into his position, it was Tillman and Hyatt who switched on the play I believe, I wondered if they saw something and Tillman not being 100 percent they wanted Hyatt to run the route and had them switch, Idk just something that ran thru my mind when I saw it.

I think they switched when they saw the matchup with the lb on outside and Tillman and Hyatt knew it was a home run and that's why they swapped

Tennessee has more wrinkles than a 100-year-old man. They add, change, and adjust so often that defenses and individual players can’t keep up. They’re confused and terrified of this very thing happening. You never know what’s coming at you, so mentally you’re so mixed up that a play like this happens. Don’t think Georgia isn’t worried. Plus, no matter how much you prep, you’re likely going to get burned because the split second decisions are hard to make.

From what Herbstreit said, while everyone else played zone, a DB played man, and left the area open where Hyatt caught the pass. The LB watched Hyatt in his zone from the snap, then let him go, expecting a DB to pick up Hyatt.

It's hard to guess if the pre-snap receiver shuffle was for matchups, or a routine move to add confusion to the defense, or reveal the coverage so Hooker could decide who his primary receiver would be.

train stack concept.

Flanker goes first then the slot runs directly behind him (cars on a train) and then basically switches routes mid play. Bang bang on the fly adjustment that you see more of.

Precisely.

Throw in the variables of situational football with down and distance. The DBs take one split second to look at the backfield for a possible easy short 1st down conversion and that's all a 4.2 speed guy like Hyatt needs to be gone.

Last year, Hooker only had a part of the playbook.

Early this year, we implemented the speed option they ran last night.

Against LSU, we unveiled the shovel pass.

Against Bama, we unveiled a closer split formation with Hooker under center and Hyatt moving in a jet sweep action. He scored his 2nd TD on this pkay.

Against UT Martin we threw a TE option pass.

Against Kentucky we started to place the TE just behind the guard and center. It seemed to help the running game.

No doubt we have things ready for Georgia.

It’s calculated. Vols have been doing their film study. The coaches and players know the look they want. Better yet, they recognize it when they get it and then take advantage.

The way they use pace to keep the same personnel on the field and shift for the matchups.

The Vols will line up, exploit the matchups they find and score at will against Georgia.

Think it just screws with their coverage, but I think as much as we do the wr screen type plays, they was expecting something underneath. We do this often

I think 2 or 3 of Hyatt's TD's against bama were the same play.

The only way I can see to stop that sort of thing/play is to make sure Hooker doesn't get the pass off and/or having several very good to elite corners and playing press/man to man on our WR's. If there's a team in the country that can field 3-4 stud corners, it's UGA. Question then becomes can they win those one on one matchups with our WRs more often than not and can UT make 'em pay when they lose those matchups? We'll find out Saturday. Regardless, I'm thrilled beyond belief to be in this position.
