I think we should open the game with 3 straight

calvin · September 6, 2005

With a young qb and the magnitude of this game, I think we should come out throwing. Loosen the defensive up and hopefully get Meager some confidence, that way his first throw isnt 3rd and 20 and you are asking for something bad. I think the worst thing we can do is run 3 staight plays and get no yards and then punt and allow them to get some momentum at home. That is the biggest thing that worries me is them getting Marks going early and jumping on us at home and J-mo and PC not being a factor. Anyone else on board with this.

I'm with you. I wasn't necessarilly thinking of 3 play action passes, but definitely think we should come out throwing. Try to establish some form of a passing offense. I know, I know, the coaches say to establish the run first. But in our case, we need to throw.

personally, I think we should open the game with two 75 yard runs by Patrick and J-Mo. That would really loosen up the defense, and by loosen I mean emasculate.

Yes, that would be a good game plan too.

Too general. Give something Dickey can build on; to be specific:

We need to open up the game with a touchdown and then answer with another if/when they keep scoring.

That way we'll always be one-up on them.

Fake it to JT up the gut, pitch to PC, and hit a flying Quinn, Nwigwe, or Muzzy behind the safeties. Otherwise, just try a good old fashioned flea flicker. I know I'm dreaming with DD at the helm, but that would certainly keep 'em off balance for awhile.

First play of the game prediction:

Line up in 4 wide, Super J in one slot and PC in the other. Then throw it deep to Quinn.

You heard it here first. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

what, nobody wants to run it straight up the middle 3 times? Come on, its NT football!

Start with something DD NEVER does, a draw play. That'll keep them off guard.

My guess is that we start like this:

1st down: Hand off to Patrick

2nd down: Hand off the Jamario

3rd down: Pass to the tight end (any tight end will do).

If at anytime in the first three plays we get a 1st down, simply repeat the pattern.

Wasn't that what we did for Baylor last game in Waco? If I recall it was to Quinn for a 70 yard TD catch & run. Was sweetness. Unfortunately Jmo goes out after a TD run and NT loses rather badly.
