I think it was Spavital who commented after the game about a play with no WR.

I just thought that was awesome. Glad it was included in your analysis.

Nice work.

I should watch the game again, but it seemed like a lot of those trips sets were WR screen plays....and they were totally unprepared for them. Or maybe it was just that the ones they ran were so badass it left an impression on me.

Interesting.

Someone volunteer to do the defense, we don't need all the defensive info, it could be limited to 3 important things:

Formation, personnel package, play ran, yell performed during play, turnovers, turnovers by formation, yards per play, yards per play by formation, pressures, sacks, deflections, tackles, assists (all by formation and by position), coaches reaction to play,

And #3 - hair, ankles, subway.

Should be quick and easy!

OP matched "Trey" and "Tra" with the correct last names. That's a first.

Thanks for the post OP. And if anyone's curious about Bob Sturm, the inspiration behind the post, he's the best part of the ticket. Yes it's a Dallas station but he'd be the first to laugh about the state of the Cowboys and how ludicrous it is for Jerry Jones to think he can actually be a GM. Guy's a breath of fresh air in today's media environment - he actually gathers facts and tries to view things from an objective perspective before running his mouth.

And to make it Aggie football related - while he has no ties or bias when it comes to college football, he was supportive of the Ags move to the SEC from the onset, before we made the actual move - an unpopular opinion outside of Aggieland at the time as we all know. Plus he did an entire segment a year ago on how any argument against the SEC being the best conference in college football was ill-logical at best.

Very nice work;

If I send you my opponent scout video, will you please break that down for me too?

Reginald – You are a little late already with the pump fake thought. They ran it to perfection during their first drive of the second quarter. After gashing South Carolina for 11 yards on the first play of the series, the Aggies came out in Trips right.



Malcolm is lined up in the slot, RSJ is the Z, and Josh Reynolds is lined up as the X. Speedy is lined up on the opposite side of the formation.



Kenny finds Malcolm for the easy completion, and due to great downfield blocking by RSJ and Reynolds we able pick up 11 yards and another first down.



The very next play we are lined up in the exact same formation, just flipped to the other side.



Not only do we run the same formation, we run the exact same play and pick up 6 yards. I believe with a better throw this play would have been as successful as the first.



Here we are again, back in trips right. This is where the coaches decide to catch South Carolina biting on the route.



Everything appears to be normal for the LB #9. Kenny’s shoulders are completely turned like he’s about to throw a 3rd pass to Malcolm. RSJ does a great job of appearing to engage #9 on South Carolina for the block.



The pump fake has taken place and #9 now realizes he’s dead. RSJ plants his right foot and jumps inside the linebacker.



From here Kenny hits RSJ and he turns it up-field for a 16 yard gain.

There was never an eye-popping throw or an amazing catch, but this sequence shows how effective the Aggie offense is doing the simple things. 3 plays, 33 yards, and one confused group of South Carolina linebackers.

Good Info! Thanks

Notes:

- Speedy Noil is a beast out there blocking along with the other WRs. Just ferocious. WR coaches gotta be loving it.

- Our Defensive breakdowns were DBs not on the same page. I think this gets fixed, often they are in the right place, which is a huge improvement.

- Tackling is improved!

- Gap control was fairly good and consistent. It was apparent we were committed to stopping their run and living with them beating us through the air. Good strategy. Worked out I guess.



- Speedy had a touchdown if he catches that dropped 3rd down play early.

This next series shows the effectiveness of both Cam Clear and Ricky Seals-Jones lined up as the H-Back. Clear went down with the ankle injury midway through the second drive but we were still able to use this personnel package effectively later in the game.



Carson is in at tailback with Clear lined up as the H-Back. Kennedy and Reynolds are lined up to the right and will remove their defenders from the play.



Clear engages one defensive tackle, Matthews takes the other defensive tackle, Grambling picks up the linebacker, and Ifedi seals off the defensive end. You can already see the large hole created for Tra.



Tra is through the line and sees daylight. The unblocked linebacker got lost in the trenches and has no chance of catching Tra. Notice the beautiful pancake by Matthews in this shot.



Carson is off to the races and doesn’t get touched until he’s deep into the Gamecock secondary.



Now we are midway through the 3rd quarter and Ricky has replaced Clear as the H-Back with Trey Williams in at tailback.



This time RSJ comes across the line and takes the opposite defensive end. Ogbuehi takes the other end while Grambling and Matthews take the tackles.



Ifedi and Cheek move up to the linebackers and again you can see the sizeable hole form. With Trey running it’s almost a guarantee this play is going to go for decent yardage.



Trey had a nice spin move right before this shot, and he’s into the secondary for another first down. You can also see another example of Speedy getting after his DB to allow Trey to squeeze out a few more yards.

TTT. This is too good to slide off page 1. Blue Chute for Codeno. Much appreciated content!

Very nicely done Codeno. I like the picture explanations. To be honest, watching the game in real time, I don't pay that much attention to the small details.

To make GIFs, I recommend GAP, a plugin for GIMP, which is the free version equivalent of Photoshop.
