I would say that TE delay was similar in effect, but it was not off an option. Spurrier especially like those vs linebacker blitzes.Didn't Spurrier use it a bunch, but sort of like a draw play, early at UF (w/ Rhett)? It seems if it's schemed properly it could work a few times a game. It seems like Mullen gives up on it if it gets blown up once or twice.
A coach could CALL a tight end delay. it doesn't really require a blitz it just works better with a blitz. you can't really call a shovel pass because it depends on what the defense does. it's more of the third option of the reads in an option play, much like the screen pass if sometimes called as the third option (if you remember that video with Urban Meyer showing it to people in studio).
