What was the trickeration? The jumbo set/ iso dive?
I saw a lot of runs for 8, 10, 24....A our WRs, TEs torching their secondary
Well, those runs didn't just "happen". If you watch closely we lined up in our typical read option, but instead ran dives inside.
We also came out in a 3-3-5 on the first series on defense on first and second down. Carden was lost.
The whopper formation. As mentioned.
Shuler lining up on the wide side of the field, giving him more space to get underneath. Which put gator on the short side which is why he didn't get targeted much until the red zone.
A few others I'm spacing on right now. I'm not sure I would call it "trickeration". Rather, they are simply wrinkles that, when they are all added up, put ECU on its heels the entire game.
One thing is certain, this was NOT a vanilla game plan. This was a well orchestrated beat down in all phases. The coaches did a masterful job planning on this game. Best I've seen since the Pruett years, by far.
