WR Screen

Did anyone see the Florida WR screen just now?

They faked a WR screen and the "blocker" ran down field to receive a wide open pass. Maybe Texas coaches will see this and add a counter when teams load up for the screen.

Not likely

There isn't a lot a history of Texas offensive coaches implementing counters to seemingly obvious plays. The one that sticks out in my mind is the old motion hand-off to Tony Jeffery that we use to use. The play worked great the first four times it worked, but then when Texas failed to show any inclination to do something different off the long developing play, it was quickly sniffed out and shut down, never to be seen again.

Granted, a play not working, or even consistently NOT working ever has never stopped them from running it over and over again, but here we are.

Seriously, how awesome would that play have been if TJ would have tossed it to Roy going the other way? Or if Ced had tailed him and we turned it into an option? Or if Ced had tailed him, and TJ would have just pulled up to fling a pass?
