Don't let your 6'6" 240lb qb try and get 1 yd - nice call
Exactly. Let's do the math. One yard = three feet. 6'6" = 2+ yards. 3rd and goal inside the one. QB Falls forward=Touchdown. There were two or three plays in the OSU game where they should have run a QB sneak also, but inexplicably handed off to the 5'7" guy. Jonathan Beasley once scored 5 TDs in a game running the QB sneak. It was good enough then...
I can only figure four reasons why Prince won't run the sneak.
1) The offensive line isn't good enough- In this case, maybe the O-line isn't good enough for the 5'7" guy to get a yard either.
2) The offense hasn't gotten that far in the playbook- Kind of hard to imagine...
3) He doesn't want to get Freeman hurt- If this is the case, put some walk-on in. He's got a better chance of making a yard than the 5'7" guy. Our third-string kicker isn't doing anything; teach him to run the QB sneak.
4) QB sneaks are cheap plays and Prince refuses to gain cheap yards (feet).
Granted, that one score doesn't get us the game, but this is becoming a trend. Someday, that six points is going to cost us.
