    We’ll see soon. 2008 talent wasn’t hindered by predictable play calling. I hope you are right.

    So many fake Tebow runs were wide open pases.

    It wasnt really genius playcalling. Tebows options were pretty easy to see but they had to pick their pois. How many plays came from a Tebow off tackle option.

    Meh.. Not good enough to call his own plays. He doesn't have a good feel like Spurrier, Mullen. My main issue is Play calling in critical moments. It's always some "razzle dazzle" nonsense (that triple reverse pass vs fsu).

    Staff ran pretty much ran the same plays damn near over and over again. Lol! Especially pre Ole Miss. Took them what halfway the Ark to figure out the "veer" offense/wide lineman formation. Boards used post the spinning wheel of 6-8 plays. It more about players, then plays. Especially when Percy was 100%

    Kept the defense in single coverage for Murphy and Cooper while they tried to deal with Tebow, percy, and Hernandez. Dont play Tebows run and he just took an automatic 6-8 yards.
