I'm re watching the game thank to Trim putting his DVR'd version on youtube.
The biggest thing I've noticed so far is very little zone reads/stretch reads. Klein definitely had more QB draws this week and I think that will be a trend. I think overall the play calls were much better this week. It just felt like we were doing things that this team will do to win ball games. Where as last week it definitely felt like they were testing the waters and seeing what's there to be played with.
I don't have much of an eye for formations/sets. For those that do, how much did the coaches play around with this?

We use more formations and personnel groups that most other teams in the country.
-
After BC ran the option all over Miami the previous week, I figured LHC Bill Snyder would run options (zone reads) all over the place on Saturday. LHC Bill Snyder out schemed me. I don't think we ran more than two zone reads. I can't wait to see if _Fan talks about that.
-
Seems like we've only run about 5 different plays / route combinations, but run them out of 25 different formations and personnel groups.

I think he laid off the zone reads because of the Miami speed, which I didn't really see much of TBH.

8manpick is on track. I haven't rewatched the game yet, but the majority of our running game was some version of power football; pulling backside offensive linemen and/or using a FB/RB to get an extra blocker. We did it from a variety of formations with different personnel. We had everything from 5 wide to 1 wide, double tight. We didn't use nearly as much option schemes as we did last year, but Miami didn't have an answer.

I'm a big fan of the 5 wide qb draw play.

I'm a big fan of the 5 wide qb draw play.
yep. gets me really excited. I always say "oh man we're gonna run it!" like a huge know it all.

I'm a big fan of the 5 wide qb draw play.
we could have passed out of that formation all day. at one point the miami personnel was so screwed up that they had a dude with a number in the 50s lined up like a safety playing halves.
-
Seems like there's still tons of things we haven't even had to touch, especially in the passing game. Really curious how we'll call the game in Norman.

I DO THAT TOO!

i think snyder will call whatever type of plays it takes to win games. we may run 100 zone reads one game, and 1 the next game. he's so schemey.
klein was perfect against Miami except for taht "play" which will never be called again.

How will Snyder use Sams? Wildcat?

:drool:
My guess is as the #2 QB. At OU is a different story if we are struggling to move the ball. I don't think he will trot him out their on the first or second series against OU, but if we struggle to move the ball, regardless of the score, Snyder will try to breath some #life into the game.

I don't think Sams will ever be used in a "CK isn't doing it for us" situation. Much more likely to see him after a timeout or for the first drive after halftime as a way to surprise, imho.

I don't think Sams will come in and Collin will take a seat. It will undoubtedly be a Wildcat formation or something to add another wrinkle to what Snyder is trying to accomplish at the time.

That play was intentionally mumped up so that when we run it against OU 800 times, and score on 700 of them, OU will be flipping their noggins.

Did we eff up "The Play" on purpose so that it could be used more effectively in the games to come?
nope

In re-watching the first half a couple things stand out concerning some things we did to abuse Miami's defense.
1st, the offensive play-calling has much more trust in the offensive line this season. One of the reasons to run option football is that at times you can hide poor offensive line play because you are releasing an offensive lineman (particularly your tackles) to the 2nd level and reading the defensive end. When your offensive linemen can sustain blocks, you can move away from option and run more power/lead running game, which is exacly what we did Saturday vs Miami. In the first half alone I counted 18 run plays that were lead or power (pulling backside oline) lead plays. Only 4 run plays were option, with 3 being speed option near the goal-line and one zone read.
2nd, we completely confused the Miami defense with formations and personnel. In the first half we ran at least 15 different formations (I say "at least" because sometimes we run essentially the same formation, but change the backfield ie. under center in the I formation or shotgun pistol or shotgun single wing look). 11 times we had 2 TEs. 7 of our double TE sets had 1 RB. 4 had 2 RBs. 4 times we had no TEs and 4 WRs. 6 times we had 3 WRs and 2 RBs with no TEs. 11 times we used motion, motioning the FB 3 of those times. Once we shifted from one formation to a completely different formation while shifting the FB to the TE spot.
It was a showcase of the Scheme Doctor at work.

Damn it, don't make me feel like I need a clipboard to watch the next Qhatz game. But I do like that breakdown of formations. :thumbs:

Also, we destroyed whatever coverage Miami tried to play. Early on they tried to play man and we used that against them in both the passing and running game. Even on Klein's incomplete throw to Harper, Harper had inside position on the slant but Klein's throw was slightly behind him. Then on the TD to Sexton we caught Miami in a cover 3 and Sexton found the seam between the safety and corner. The play was run from a doubles 4 wide formation and Sexton was the outside receiver. He and the inside receiver simply crossed and ran vertical routes down the hashes and numbers which gave Sexton the space he needed for Klein to complete the throw. (I'll give a frame by frame look at this one on the blog this week)

Any chance we did all of that just to mess with OU?

We do what we do, these types of numbers for formations and personnel are staples of Snyder ball. The reliance on the power running game is a sign of trusting the offensive line. The success running the ball would confirm that it is working.

Yes, planning some frame by frame breakdowns of several offensive plays from the Miami game.
Hopefully by Thursday.

Is Charlie Dickey the greatest O-Line coach in the history of O-Line coaches? I'm leaning toward yes.

After watching the game some other notables about the offensive play calling.
We know that we are a run first team, but the Miami game was especially so.
Of the 71 total offensive plays, 58 were called runs, or 82%.
Of the runs, 37 were power/lead running plays, mainly out of 2 RB sets, or 64% of total runs. Power/lead runs gained 167 rushing yards, 4.5 per.
16 of the power runs were for the QB*. 76 yards, 4.8 per.
Only 11 total runs were options, or 11%. And 2 of those were counter trey type runs off of zone read action, but those are basically power running game in spread formations. The 9 true option plays gained 61 yards, 6.8 per.
Of the 13 pass calls (1 scramble and 1 sack, thus 11 attempts), 9 were true drop back passes, 2 were bubble/slant looks, and 2 were play action. Drop back passing (including the scramble and sack) gained 91 yards, 13.0 per. Bubble/bubble slant gained 21 yards, 10.5 per. And play action gained 102 yards, or 51.0 per. Lockett's long gain was a bubble route, but it was off of QB lead run action. The other big play action was the throw to Trujillo, though motion/formation aided a bunch in that play also. (both will be featured in frame by frame breakdowns later this week.)
*Notable here, many people, including the commentators often call these "draws". IMO when you are leading with a back and/or pulling offensive linemen these are not true QB draws. We only ran 2 of those, and both came from empty backfield sets. A true QB draw is a designed run, but the offensive line sets up in pass protection. Most of our QB runs the offensive line is using true run blocking technique, downhill power blocking, or in our case often inside zone run block technique. FWIW, the 2 draws Klein ran gained 28 yards, 14.0 per.

This is a serious question.
Since Nick Saban has been at Alabama these teams have scored 30 or more points against him:
2007 - 38 - Arkansas (Bama won)
2007 - 41 - LSU (National Champion)
2008 - 31 - Florida (National Champion)
2008 - 31 - Utah (Undefeated but no NC - O-Line coached by Charlie Dickey)
2010 - 35 - South Carolina
That's all. 5 years. Only 5 teams have scored 30 points against them.

What was the percentage of run plays in the first half? I'm betting that stat is so skewed because the game was completely over shortly after halftime, but I'm definitely curious to see if that was the game plan going in.

16 of the power runs were for the QB*. 76 yards, 4.8 per.
Would be ridiculously higher if the endzone wasn't stopping #life
-
_Fan, what's up with the giant hole in the middle of the secondary? Is it just a result of the zone we're playing?

What category did you put "the play" in?
Technically it was supposed to be a type of reverse.

78% run in the first half. And 59% of our first half runs were lead/power plays. The game plan remained pretty consistent throughout, though it did set up the 2 big play action passes in the 2nd half.

_Fan, what's up with the giant hole in the middle of the secondary? Is it just a result of the zone we're playing?
Are you thinking over the course of the game, the big play to the TE early, or the drive before half?
I thought for the most part it was pretty good.
On the long pass to the TE we were in man and it was a great play call. Before half we did play a soft zone which opened things up too much for Miami and made it too easy for them, but that seems to be a consistent problem throughout football at any level in that situation.
But overall, I thought our pass defense was solid, especially considering the pressure we were able to get on the QB.

There was the drive they had after the Klein INT where they drove down to inside the 10 mostly completing passes right in the middle of the field, behind our LBs. Of course we kept them out of the endzone despite Mueller getting the personal foul. I just rewatched that part last night, and it stood out to me. Agree the pass defense was improved from last week though.
