So they called the right defense on one play= they knew our plays

There was a 40% chance that Auburn was going to run a tunnel screen on third and medium.

Auburn's play calling has been predictable for years.

They may have figured out one of the five plays we run.

My wife knows our plays before we run them. I'm not surprised Liberty knew them.

More they knew our tendency and personnel because we are very predictable.

And considering they were bringing a blitz, it is very possible that that DE was dropping back into coverage and the near side flat was his area to cover and it just worked out it was a tunnel screen.

They guess right on that one, but I wish that Stidham would have had time to find Kam Martin. Looks like he would have been wide open.

In 2010 and 2013 everyone knew exactly what we were going to do and nobody could stop it.

You guys that keep peddling this narrative about the “defense knowing our plays” are ignoring the fact that most plays are designed to beat the defense regardless of whether or not they know what the playcall is. It’s called execution. And when you have it, you can laugh your way to the endzone when the DE knows the ball is headed his direction.

You have a set of plays that go against your formation tendencies that you run but it’s a small percentage. Deception is important but not more than executing. We don’t move the ball well because of execution. Not because we aren’t cute enough .

The DE ran out and face guarded the WR. He wasn't dropping into coverage.

Every college football player has a general idea of the play based on down, distance and tendencies. I didn't have any film stud of uga and I was calling their O most of the game before the snap. It's about execution not play calling.

If I call that play and also tell my player in that type of scenario, watch for the tunnel screen and he does, does that mean I knew the play or made a good guess on the tendencies of the team i'm playing and their inability to get creative?

How many times do you see DL read a screen and just run with the RB? Did they know the play or pick up on tendencies/clues from the offense.
