... we line up in punt formation and you're saying WTF is wrong with us today?!? I pretty much get pissed if a possession does not end in a score.

I can’t believe Pitt fell for it yesterday. It’s not like it was one guy, their entire line jumped into the backfield.Burning a timeout for the draw-em-offsides play still pisses me off. Just punch em in the mouth
I doubt he burned the TO just to run the draw-em-offsides. He would've had to burn another if they didn't jump. I think it was going to be the try to draw em offsides with motion, then run a play with the A-back set behind the B-back if they dont jump. I'm pretty sure we would have run a play.Burning a timeout for the draw-em-offsides play still pisses me off. Just punch em in the mouth

Remember that 2009 defense that gave us the confidence to go for it on 4th and short yardage situations? Yeah, we may be getting back to that.

They used it A LOT for a while. Then we had snap count issues in '10 or '11. We swapped up the snap count and it worked something like 3 times in a single game... NC State I think. If the D line has practiced and listened for the snap count all game, or there's a freshman on the line, they may jump. When it works, it's genius. Otherwise, it's a punt.It seems like it been a long while since that play has been run. A few years ago it was automatic the play would be run on 4th and short, then it sort of disappeared. Not sure if it was because we were never in 4th and short or if it stopped working. Certainly, teams got very disciplined about it after a while and rarely jumped offsides. Either way, it worked yesterday quite well!
In the Tennessee game, I was in the lower corner of the endzone. I couldn't tell if the plays were going for much, but I'd look up after the first play and it would be second and three or less... QB question answeredWhen you can get 3 yards or more on every play, punting on 4th and a foot is pretty disappointing any day. Of course we screwed ourself with the motion penalty the one time we did go.
