re: Harsin’s scheme simply doesn’t fit with Auburn’s personnel

Because the smart posters here can see though your bullshite. For example, no one who played college football says "near boundary". Its boundary side or field side. We would even let you get away with short side or wide side.
Second, you are a Bama fan so you don't get it. A lot of schools out there cannot line up and "Out talent"everyone, and Auburn is one of them. When they won it all it was because they had an other worldly talent in Cam Newton, and some key pieces sprinkled in. In fact, they were the team with the lowest level recruiting classes to win a title in 25 years or more. They have to out scheme their opponents, and its likely that their Admin understands that and is hiring accordingly. Maybe they understand being wedged between Bama, LSU, and GA is a recruiting war they cannot and have not been able to win, and are addressing it realistically.
So they hire a coach who has been able to string together 10 after 10 win season with smoke and mirrors, while rising p to beat P5 opponents on the reg to do what he does at Auburn. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't, but kudos to Auburn for trying to fight the fight their way.
Awesome, oh smart one.
Can you please explain to the class the purpose of the spin towards the sideline? Thanks. I can’t wait for your well informed, football theory filled response.

Okay, Abrell. If we’re going to play that game, you didn’t know that Honey Badger wasn’t a punter.

He signs his work. He actually did a pretty good job with this one. I’ll give credit where it’s due.

I saw 5x award winning poster Tuscaloosa at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. He looked just like his avatar. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.
When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly

I trusted you not to tell that story here.

Sorry man it is too good not to tell.

I thought this was a bad hire from day 1. Prove me wrong Harsin. He made good coordinator hires and we’ll see if he can recruit. Wouldn’t be surprised if his replacement is already on the staff.

I thought the object of the game was to score???? Did we miss something?

If they don't score from an I formation with just a hand off it is a whirlybird!

Damn boy! You still choking this trick play chicken? I bet you were high fiveing with the rest of us when Boise beat OU with the Statue of Liberty play in 2007..

Who are they going to line up against and over power in this league?
quote:No one is. Only time will tell.
I’m not sure Auburn gives him enough time, and I’m not sure he can recruit well enough if they do.

The play in the OP wasn’t a trick play, and I haven’t mentioned trick plays anywhere in this thread.

If #87, who is the player closest to the line of scrimmage in the formation, were to turn to his left rather than spin, he would have further to go to avoid the rest of the OL and the QB (who was moving to under center as they shifted). The rest of the players involved just turned in the same direction to avoid running into one another.
Yeah, it's needlessly complex on a 3rd and goal from the one with time running out in a game you're going to win anyway - and unnecessary since you're facing a Willie Taggart-coached team - but it seems logical within the context of the playcall.

Why not just take a step back and go in motion like every other play in the playbook?
