I'll have to watch again when the game is on passport, but here is what I think we did on the failed fake punt.
I think both gunners were on the LOS along with the 5 men in the formation. The inside gunner then could not release b/c he was covered up and would be illegal down field. That allowed us to put 3 elgible recievers to the open side of the formation, 2 off the LOS and one on. The problem was #27 pretty much came unblocked and Reyer had no time to hit the recievers, though I have no idea if any were open b/c you couldn't really see on TV. We were trying to get a numbers advantage b/c if UT didn't pick up on the formation adjustment they would cover up that inside gunner which would give us numbers to the open side. I'll watch it later and see if that was indeed the plan, but on first glance that's what I though.
It was actually pretty well designed, but I would like to see us wait until we're closer to midfield and in a different situation. I noticed the 2 gunners on the same side of the formation right away which isn't something we do a lot either, especially since we weren't on the hash on the punt either.
However, that call highlights Princes personality as a coach, which I think most are growing to like with success, and we're going to have to put up with some of those failing.
