[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 130732, member: 265"] True story. When Bill Curry started coaching at Tech he would go see Coach Dodd every Monday to go over the play calls. In one game he called a pass on 3rd down at the opponent's 4 yard line. Incomplete and Tech didn't go on to score. Curry said he knew what was coming when he walked into Dodd's office: Dodd: "Son, how long have I been calling plays?" Curry: "I don't know Coach." Dodd: "55 years. Now, what did I tell you about passing the ball inside the 5 yard line?" Curry: "You told me not to do it." Dodd: "That's right, and now you know why." What I (and CPJ, I bet) would have done is call a counter. Have Wilson fake a handoff to Lynch, then immediately turn and run to corner of the end zone. Well, actually, he could have walked into the end zone if the Hawks had called that; everybody on the other side would have bitten on the fake. But to do that you would have to really commit to running 11 on 11 football part of the time and, as last night showed, the Hawks haven't gotten that far yet. [/QUOTE]
