IIRC, that's exactly what they did. They didn't give him close coverage at all...
News Article: Tua-Jalen Package on the Field
- Thread starter JustNeedMe81
- Start date
Last thing we need is Tua blocking and somebody running into him from behind.
He's the best playing in college football with the ball in his hands. Why should we ever run a play where the ball doesn't start with touching his hands?
I know we've been successful with the wildcat, but I don't really even like that. When Tua has the ball you have to cover every square inch of the field.
Can anyone remember where the ball has been spotted when Tua is lined up at WR? If it's near the boundary where he's standing, there's room for a blocker to get over to the DB "covering" him to run something similar to what we ran in 2009.
I trust Coach -- and believe there is a reason. He's not one to give his team a disadvantage unnecessarily....
We used to put G-Mac wide and put Mark in the Wildcat.....and it worked over and over again....
I don't see the harm.....if anything, it neutralizes the DL for a play....and if you get Tua with a 15 yard cushion, a double-pass would be a HUGE option...
We shall see!
I do have a question that I don't know the answer to - and this thread is as good as any to ask......
Could Savion play on Offense as long as Jeudy is NOT in the game? (so there aren't 2 - #4's in the game at the same time).....
Not saying I want him to -- just chose a number that works for the question asked.

He has been lined up on the short side of the field, like this. I could see this happening.
Cool play. I remember it. Only difference today is our regular offense is light years ahead of that offense.
It's a given that Tua and Jalen are not as good at Receiving as our Receivers.
Either can block, but are they as good as our Running Backs at blocking? I don't think so...
Lets stick to the things we do best. That's what got us here...

The way I see it, is there is no expectation of a big play, only something that throws the defense off for a couple of plays, then go back to what our playbook usually is, forcing different looks from the opponent. Keeps them always having to think, rather than the opponents defense dictating the game.
This. Its a distraction for Clemson all week even if we don't use it in the game. But I would run a couple of plays with both on the field to see how Clemson responds. They may alter their schemes in a way that gives us some opportunities. Its just a matter of taking what the defense gives you. If it creates a matchup problem for Clemson, come back to it. If not, move on. It is worth a couple of plays to see if there is something there to exploit.
I hope so considering how often we throw to him. Irv would end the game with 6 grabs 400 yards and 6TDs lol
It may be that that is the safest way to keep from being charged with a confusion foul...
Agreed. If you don’t have to play Gus ball don’t !!!

I think Hurts was "thrown" the ball for the jet sweep vs OU. If this was the case, one time maybe it will be a hand-off so that Hurts can throw it. If the coaches can run some plays to see the defensive reaction and then set this up it may work. I'm not a big fan of the idea, that is, until they run it and it works.
