March 26, 20187 yr How it is perfect for every situation and QB type in particular. Boss is on my ass and need some talking points to keep my job.
March 26, 20187 yr Don’t waste the time to run a draw. just have the qb ram into the line while blocking outside zone. done
March 26, 20187 yr I will always remember the QB draw that beat bama in the Cotton Bowl. Perfect call at the time.
March 26, 20187 yr QB draw is good when your QB has an eggshell skull. Otherwise, shovel pass and 3-yard out.

July 6, 20187 yr Are we talking a real Straight Draw out of a passing look (where OL shows pass block) or are we talking Inverted Veer Read Option which isn't really a draw, but uses the QB as the keep/dive if the DE flattens out to hold the edge against a ride to the RB off the edge?Football.
July 6, 20187 yr It was great last season. We ran a qb draw rather than Warren to ensure we didn’t advance the ball vs USC. It also worked well in the title game vs bama when Colt got a quick exit. If we ran it vs sand aggy last year we would’ve fucking won but we called a pass play on third down in attempt to give them more time to score. It worked great for them!
July 6, 20187 yr It's an Urban Meyer staple on 3rd and short, which drives fans nuts. That said, it works well. Go 4-5 wide and hope the defense walks their LB's back and/or out. As I said, it has worked well for us, even though we ALL know it's coming. The only guess I have is our play-calling (constraint plays) sets it up perfectly.

Also, f you for bringing it up.

July 7, 20187 yr re: the QB draw against Alabama, that film is an up close version. I remember watching it live and two things: 1. seeing the play on TV it looked like he was even further away from being touched. It seemed as if nobody was near him until the goal line. 2. That was when we were in a desert wasteland of offensive ideas. Akers had basically nothing after his first year when he got lucky with the idea of putting Earl in the I. It was soooo bad that supposedly the assistant coach in the booth recommended the QB draw was denied the credit by Akers. Akers claimed the draw was his idea. It bothered people for years, so much, about how we could produce a top-notch Leon Fuller/David McWilliams led almost all-conference type defense and on offense we looked like we had no coaching. Literally, like coming out of a timeout with a penalty for delay of game offensive coaching. That disparity is what cost Fred bigtime.

This is a real fumblerooski, where the ball is intentionally put on the ground to enable a lineman to become a ball carrier. This version of the play has been illegal since the early 90s when they banned the intentional forward fumble. Edited July 7, 20187 yr by Bozo_Casanova
July 7, 20187 yr I thought we all agreed to never speak of this again. Is this never speaking of this again?It never happened. Colt was abducted by aliens the night before and Garrett Gilbert had to play the whole game. That's how I remember it.

There are plenty of blueblood football programs that has never had the opportunity to compete in the Rose Bowl, if for no other reason it should be remembered as a time when a non B1G or PAC school had a chance to play in the game, but also a chance at the national title... (The game finishes different if not for the injury, we all know this)...

Damned conf tie ins, it is part of Bama's bloody fight song. As for the QB draw, don't know much about that but there has never been a better QB sneaker than one John Parker Wilson. He might not have been that good at everything else a Qb does but he usually fell forward for about three yards on every 3rd or 4th and 1. Edited July 8, 20187 yr by bamachine typo

JPW is part of the "culture change" at Alabama to get the program back to heights of today, it is now arguably the most well oiled bamachine in the history of the Crimson Tide..! (I'm looking forward to two of America's bluest of blue bloods to meet on the gridiron, the upcoming scheduled contest between the University of Texas & University of Alabama..!)
July 8, 20187 yr If I had video of the 1980 Texas-Oklahoma game, I’d show you and your boss how effective the QB draw can be. Donnie Little beat that Sooner ass that day, and they couldn’t do a damn thing aboit it.

I can't find any links for that video, but in it's place is the 2005 USC vs Notre Dame "Bush Push" game: (I was rooting for the Irish on that day), but UT still beat 'em anyway..!
