[QUOTE="Vespid, post: 462075, member: 1436"] Well...two things. 1) Just exactly what is the high percentage first down play on 4th and 7 that also has a significant chance of getting huge chunk yards or even a TD? Roll out screen pass maybe? I don't know, I think the play we ran was up there in percentage of getting the first down and retaining possession given Pitt's alignment without tipping our hat or showing our hand. If we had put in the players likely to execute such a play, it more than likely would have caused Pitt to call time out or adjust their alignment. Regardless, it was definitely a risky move, so maybe you have a point there. Get a burner on the edge and somebody who can throw it in the wedge, if Pitt doesn't adjust, go for it, if they do adjust, punt the ball. Drawback of course being that the personnel you put in capable of executing the 4th and 7 chunk TD play capable of blocking the rush trying to block the punt if you call it off. 2) Assuring points using the surprise factor to get into FG range? Have you seen our field goal tries? I'm betting Paul is considering going for it on 4th and anything outside the 15 and inside the 35 moving forward. Change "assure" to "slim possibility" and that's a good point. [/QUOTE]
