QB’s can get a more immediate read of the second and third level defenders on play action when they react to the flow of the RB as opposed to the “delayed” handoff when in standard shotgun set.

The O-line may have an easier “zone” blocking assignment when the RB has that “head start” toward a certain hole/run lane. The defensive line would prefer not to over commit like they can when the handoff is “delayed” (sitting duck?). On “stretch” plays the head start may also better create cut back lanes as the “flow” may disorganize the second level defenders. Perfect for a “jump cutter” like Reed. Like a “mini” punt return……..Just a thought.

attack the perimeter!!!

can also include a ” trick ” play with ball carrier throwing a pass

OCs like to attempt the quick pass to the outside — nothing wrong with that if the QB can sling the ball to the receiver who’s about 15 yards away — why not bring in the receiver tandem closer to beat the defense?

UH QB did a lot of soft, floater passes to the outside allowing the D to react quickly and tackle the ball carrier.

On first and 10 Hawaii handed off to Reed 8 times. Four went for no gain, three went for 6 yards and one went for 5.

On second and long (more than 6 yards) there were 3 carries for 3 yards. On second and 5 or less there were 3 carries for 7 yards. Reed scored his 4 yard TD run on RPO (not straight handoff) with Corderio on second and goal.

On third down and 5 Reed lost a yard resulting in a punt on the first series. On third down and 2 Reed had a 3 yard loss but Nevada’s CB was called for a facemask penalty far away from the play.

The 23 yard completion to Panoke was off play action which effectively opened the area up on his route.

Hawaii ran only 4 plays in Wildcat. Turner lost 2 yards on 2nd and 10 after Wildcat formation forced Nevada to call a time out and make their adjustment. Turner’s second wildcat was the huge 30 yard run on 3rd and 2. On the third Wildcat Turner handed off to Stovall WB RPO for 4 yards on 1st and 10. With 3rd and 2 on the Nevada 9, 1:21 to go in the game Hawaii used Wildcat formation but got a false start penalty.

There were no “straight” jet sweeps this game.

Missouri plays at Oregon today at 4PM on FS1.
