Question: What do you think our first offensive play from scrimmage will be?

(and what would you like to see?)

I'll go with Henry running left. I'd like to see a flea flicker off that design with either a deep pass to a WR (any WR) or a crossing route to OJ in the flat behind the LB and/or safety who cheated up for run support.

I'd guess that I'd split Drake wide right -- hopefully with a Linebacker on him.....trip WRs on the left.....and some Qb hurling it as far as they can

Wildcat formation. Stewart comes in motion. Henry takes the snap and goes behind the left side for about 8.

I've always thought a run into the middle of the line was a wasted play...that is if it doesn't gain much. However, if it gains big yards then it was a smart play.

A fumble on the qb center exchange just so people will all come unglued and yell that we should have had one guy getting more reps. Saban will yell at someone but laugh inside and tell kiffy-poo to throw a screen to drake.

I don't know what the exact play call will be but hopefully it's something with the "jumbo package".:biggrin:

I'll be surprised if it doesn't involve something low risk that ends us with Derek Henry having his paws on the ball.

Straight handoff
Toss sweep
Screen/swing pass

All very low risk. Whoever is taking the first snap, we don't won't anything risky. Can you imagine a pic six to open up the game?

I like this wildcat idea, Henry taking the snap. Only if we get the ball first. If we're getting it back after a score of some sort or even a drive that gains a first down or two, don't get cute. Just run it or set up a screen

Bama knows the Badgers will expect the run up the gut first play. The Badgers know Bama knows that and will be looking for a high % sideline pass. Instead, the mystery QB will simply drop back and fire off a 40 yard pass to Black.
