Laxtonto

He was touted as a guy who took the AR and added a heavy run component to it. He has had several top 25 offenses (I think he even had one at UNT) with a strong run game. The thing is he also had much better QBs vs the standard D of his competition. So is he a Peter Principal guy who kept getting lucky by landing someplace that had a legit QB talent and needed structure or his system was solid? The fact that he had multiple 1k rushers, its pretty safe to say he is not a pure Air Raid guy like Riley. He has some plan in the run game, but watching OU I am not sure what the hell they are doing. It doesn't help that their RB room is abject garbage, so the only real dynamic game-breaker running the ball is Hawkins. Did they decide that trying to be "cute" with weird misdirection was their only chance since the OL can't get drive? Is this a mishmash of Letrell's stuff, Lebby's stuff, and Bedenbaugh input as the senior guy on the offensive side of the ball? My personal view is that BV decide that he didn't want to let Hawkins's mistakes lose the game for them and so they limited his decisions.

I can’t believe that Litrell, who was a very hit OC name until he failed as HC in the coaching graveyard that is UNT, completely forgot how to be an OC and evolved into this level of ineptitude. He can and has employed functional offensive game planning and decent in game play calling before. So either he has devolved due to continued meth use (being a former OU guy that is plausible) or he is handcuffed due to BVs expected scheme and/or a QB that they can’t trust to make his own reads in the RPO/ZR game.

The more I watch these, the more I feel like this is trying to get this formation on tape and getting Hawkins reps for the potential wrinkles with it. They just didn't feel confident to allow him to make the read on his own. On all three of these calls, if you move it from a straight handoff to a ZR or RPO it becomes a much more dangerous play. Also, this formation is where OU had several wide-open looks that Hawkins just missed on. Funny enough, I think Littrell is taking more heat than he probably deserves. It is obvious that Hawkins is super athletic, but not ready and Littrell scaled down (and majorly changed) the O to try and make him successful against Texas. It looks like they installed what they could for him and someone made the decision to limit the amount of calls/thinking Hawkins got to make. It is almost like they said, primary and secondary read and then run on all passes, no RPOs and all LZs are precalled as either a handoff or QB run all the way upstairs.

I am wondering if this should have been a ZR aspect on this play and could eventually be tied into in some form of combo RPO combination later on. If the QB pulls that and runs the ball as the read and follows 76 who should be lining up to block 5, this puts the QB in a footrace with 11 for the edge and first down. Pause it at 49:20. Texas is still in a solid position to stop the play, but it goes from a massive loss to Hawkins in a footrace. So did Hawkins blow the read or did OU call it a straight run to take the decision out of Hawkins hands.

Even better one….

Man… Satk pissing all over Venables that drive

Just happy to see them call holds on OU

WOW!!! ST fail by Bama

Did you guys notice that r/CFB essentially made a clone of this and we’re pushing it on social media?
