This one is a running play. The play calls for Scarlett to run around the left end. The offensive line does a beautiful job blocking. Scarlett may have to beat one defender at the line of scrimmage, but there is a lot of open space after that. Ahmad Fullwood has made his way downfield and is doing a good job blocking the safety. If Scarlett can just beat one defender on the edge this is a potential TD.
Except, the sophomore offensive lineman Ivey blocks the wrong man. He goes for the double team and leaves a gaping hole for the middle linebacker to come through and blow up the play. If Ivey accounts for his gap this is a big play.
This is the type of play a lot of fans look at and think "horrible play call". However, if Ivey blocks #18 that play potentially goes for big yards.
It's not the play calling. It's being forced to start 13 underclassmen.
I can't help it - this was an epic thread.
