What is the play called to the Aback

[Yoda]

When JT handed it directly to the Aback between the tackles? I was deep into the bl's so forgive me if I'm misremembering things. Think it was Zenon or Hill that took the handoff up the middle for a decent gain and maybe a first down. Thought that was a great play and looked like what Army ran a lot while Ellerson was there. No motion and caught them off gaurd.

I don't know what it's called, but we 1st ran it 3 years ago against UGA, and we'd give it to Roddy. It worked great the 1st few times, but then they caught on. I know we've used it a few other times, but not too often. I'm glad it's still in our arsenal.

I think I heard CPJ refer to that as a trap play? I might be wrong. I think one time we faked it and the QB kept it and got a big gain.

 

[Bennett]

It's a counter trap. Usually referred to as just the counter

 

[Yoda]

We don't run that very often

 

[gtcole]

Didn't we run it the first two plays of the southern game for big gains?

 

[ilovetheoption]

Playside a back or backside?

Playside a back or backside?

Play side. Never seen it before, other than Army running it with Ellerson as coach. Late in game too.

 

[Yoda]

A backs didn't move until snap and the rt aback just went straight ahead in the a or b gap on his side.

Zenon, trap. But I do not know what the play call is.

Sounds like aback dive but I don't recall it.

I think it's a trap. I think the B-Back trap blocks the tackle (or maybe even the guard, but I suspect the tackle) and the OL gets to the 2nd level

No, that's a different play, and that play with open with against GSU IS a counter. This play isn't really a counter at all, it's a quick hitting give to the a-back up the b-gap.

 

[Yoda]

Well I like it whatever it is.

 

[AE 87]

The playbook I've seen has two plays which show an A-Back getting the ball up through the line of scrimmage. The first is called 30/31 Iso which is a quick hitting play where the backside A-back reads the block and hits the most inside gap, iiuc. The second is the 32/33 Counter Iso where the playside A-back runs behind the QB takes the hand off and then squares up to hit the A-gap or B-gap.

counter

That play we opened with on GaSoCollege was a ball roaster - get ready for it Pruitt, we're gonna welcome you to CPJs play book with it on 11/29.

 

[techman78]

I could be wrong but wasn't that the play that Orwin took 95 yards against Kansas on the first offensive play in the'11 game??

Hill was left and Zenon was right. Hill ran a go route and Zenon took the handoff and ran through the A gap. Huge hole. Shaq mauled his guy.

Correction. Hill didn't run a route.

@Yoda I feel this play is to setup a JT end around later in the year.

This is not the A Back counter. That play has two pulling OL.

I am naming it the A Back Dive. I saw it twice last year with Godhigh.
