Expect more Chiles, Davis says
Monday, September 24, 2007, 01:30 PM
Offensive coordinator Greg Davis says he has a package of plays ready to go in which freshman QB John Chiles is on the field at the same time as Colt McCoy.
"We had four or five plays designed out of that group of people," Davis said.
McCoy and Chiles were on the field at the same time for only one play against Rice. McCoy split out as a receiver, and Chiles took the snap. Rice blitzed and shut down Chiles’ run for no gain.
Chiles returned later in the game to put a charge into the second-team offense.
Brown said he thought Chiles "did really well."
"We were so happy that we were able to let him go," Brown said. "I thought we got done what we needed to get done."
Added Davis in bit of understatement, "Obviously, he runs the zone read pretty well."

It's good to see
that Greggy finally has the balls to use Chiles in a meaningful game. But i shouldn't speak too soon, we'll see how this plays out this weekend.
"Greggy"
isn't making the call of whether or not to play chiles. if he gets the ok from mack to play chiles, i'm sure he will.
of course, then he'll probably call for chiles to throw a 2-yard out to Colt or something. THAT we could blame him for.
Sure, let's play expose the QB
Boy, Chiles would have a lot to gain and Colt a lot to lose. How about a slant over the middle? Just hang 'em out.
Bubble screen to Colt
This would be the perfect play if only there was some way to A) combine it with QB sneak, and B) use it unsuccessfully at the goal line.
chiles should change the play at the snap
to call for this in an attempt to "win" the starting QB job.
