I think we keep Buster at least one more year

many things still piss me off about that game, obviously. But, I just don’t understand how we can’t have any go to plays inside the 5 on 4th and gotta have it. I know we do and we got defended well, sure, but damn. Can’t get 3 yards in 7/8 tries or 1 yard in 1 try? Hard to accept still.

The only thing that somewhat comforts me (and it's really not a comfort) is that U[sic]GA did almost just as bad. We both failed on five out of the first six tries (first ot was just xp.).

So it's not something we did uniquely wrong. I think maybe it's just tougher for gassed, out of rhythm offenses who have to walk 80 yards after every play than it is for defenses.

Goal line offense is hard. The back of the endzone is a helluva 12th defender. :dunno:

Perhaps an OL weakness?
 
In the 7th OT, the play King got stuffed looked to be a designed QB keeper with Singleton coming in motion as eye candy.

But ugag was crashing the middle hard for nearly all of the OTs - if he hands that to Singleton, he's still running, and we win. The edges were very vulnerable as they were overplaying the middle hard. Singleton is beating any of them to the edge.

I think he could have tossed to Haynes FTW
 
Did anyone else pick up the comment during the Vandy game that Buster scripts the first 8 plays every game? Explanation was he does it to figure out how the defense is reacting to set the offense for the rest of the game.

One glaring weakness this year was slow starts on offense. Does this explain it? 8 plays could produce 2 three and outs and a 3rd and long on the 3rd possession. Given the clock rules this is a significant number of potentially lost possessions.

Maybe he needs to rethink this.

I didn’t hear that but I wasn’t paying much attention early. Why even tell anyone outside the program that you do that? Seems dumb to publicize that. Teams will keep it vanilla first 8 plays?

This is a very common thing. Script 10 or so plays early in the week and you rep the opening drive during the week.

I've heard it referenced in the pros often, but not in CFB.

The announcers said first 8 plays, not opening drive. So if you go 3 and out with plays 1-3 do you start the next drive with play 4? Where does down and distance come into play if you are running from a script?

Several games, can't remember the season, started out like this for CPJ.

Run the ball - TD

2011 we had at least 3 first plays of the half that went for TDs. 2 in one game I think.

I've heard people say the First 15 as in they script the first 15 plays
 
A script doesn't mean zero flexibility. It's just a group of core plays that you've probably repped more than others during the week.
