Richt playcalling vs LSU

[SWFLHurricane]

“The playcalling would have been fine if the plays worked.”

Thanks bork!! I guess the fellas just didn’t feel like being cheeseburgers today.

Thats something Yogi would've said...

Most of this "playcalling" thread has been focused on the passing game.

Richt's playcalling in the running game has been HORRENDOUS. I don't know what in the **** goes through his mind, but we run ONE TYPE OF RUN over and over and over again. That stupid ******* "QB holds the ball to one side and running back veers off-tackle". We rarely run sweeps, traps, cutbacks, or anything else that takes advantage of the other team's defensive tendencies.

As just an example (for contrast), on that LSU long run, the play started out in a wide direction, and when we overpursued, the cutback found a wide open middle of the field that allowed the RB to score almost untouched after he got through the DL.

I am so **** sick of RPO, or at least how it is applied at UM. RPO doesn't get the WRs wide open (one positive that people mentioned above), so let's dump the RPO and go back to simply calling good plays.

I appreciate that Richt thinks that playcalling has reinvigorated him, but it is time for him to move into a "consultant" role as he brings in an OC who has an innovative approach (and is not named Richt).

Agree 100%. My thoughts exactly. The REAL problem is the running games utter lack of surprise, which leads to long yardage, which leads to Rosier having to have a play, etc....I will add in we line up in the same 2-3 formations ALL THE TIME. New England on the other hand wont give you the same formation for 10-15 snaps.

Not really, he's sitting perfectly on the play and read/reacts to Rosier.

Sure its better if he goes to Jordan but he isn't open. That is my problem with these type of threads. Half the time its he's "wide open" but they fail to account for LBs underneath or S over the top (not always). Or like I said the ball was already thrown or defense has reacted to the QB.

With the way that LB reacted, maybe a slight shoulder fake or pump fake, a look off, gets that guy off of Brevin, who’s running the other way into open grass...this is a 5th yr senior we’re talking about is a shoulder fake too much to ask of him ?
