Under center snaps
Watching some of the presser from today on FB and the interview with NH. Hard to believe we are actually going to snap some balls “old school”, so to speak- lol. I know this has been discussed but we can all recall screaming at the television or from the sideline when the offense had 3rd or 4th and inches and we snapped the ball from the gun and attempted a 7 yard run. I won’t ever forget the time AE tried to run the ball from 5 yards deep in the end zone. I knew before it happened the result would be a safety. Crazy that this seemingly simple play is so hard to do.

Re: Under center snaps
Amen to this! I think this might be a pretty minor change that could pay huge dividends during the season. Make the simple things simple and pick up the first down. I don't just like it, I love it!bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 5:36 pmWatching some of the presser from today on FB and the interview with NH.

Re: Under center snaps
Wasn’t able to watch the entire second half. Was the botched under center snap in the first quarter our only attempt?

Re: Under center snaps
No we had a 3rd or 4th and less than a yard and we went under center. Figured it would be ZT sneak up the middle but we pitched it outside with Williams to convert it.

Re: Under center snaps
I think everyone in the stadium wanted to see / expected to see a sneak there. I can hear Drink going "psych" after the play was over.AppStateMtneer wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:56 pmNo we had a 3rd or 4th and less than a yard and we went under center.
