Predict our first play from scrimmage (Offense)

By: bw on September 2, 2016, 1:00 PM | 66 comments

TKP user NickVT10 started this thread last year.

Predict what you think our offense will run for the first play of the season (assuming we start at our own 25).

My prediction: play-action to Cam for 11 yards to the left.

My dream: T-Mac rips off a 50+ yarder like this

Slightly erratic, mostly sane, always a Hokie.

Assuming after being up 14-0 from a kick return and defensive TD, I think J-Rod will hit Bucky Rogers over the middle for a 13 yard gain.

Sam Rodgers will barrel his way through defenders turning what looks like a 2-3 yd run into a solid 12+ yds. CJF definitely knows that #45 is a sure way to set the tone he wants.

I'll bet you $100 no one named Sam Rodgers touches the ball all game (for the hokies, I don't know the liberty roster)

Oh man, I tricked myself into adding the "d". I know everyone is always talking about it, and I convinced myself that everyone always leaves out the "d". Tyree has the "d". Man, I need to step up before gameday.

false start, on the offense. 5 yard penalty, repeat first down.

Watching the Memphis game vs Ole miss I noticed 3 false start penalties. I can't stand undisciplined penalities and wanted to see what we might expect from a Fuente team. Mainly to set expectations for how many remotes I'd be breaking this year. Last year Memphis was 115th in country in penalties per game @ 7.5 and we were 101st at 7.1 penalties per game. :-/ SMH.

Couldn't drill down to false starts. Setting expectation bar low and buying a few extra remotes in prep.

Ps. Miami was dead last. 9.8 penalties per game. LOLU-Va was 118th.

Just kidding. We actually do a flea flicker. No one expects it. We get our first touchdown from it, the only one that we need, yet we decide to throw up 69 on Liberty to the 3 they get in garbage time.

We were having this exact conversation tailgating before the Boise game. One of my buddies called for the flea flicker. That was met with chuckles and a 'yeah right.' Damned if we didn't open that game with a flea flicker.

That was actual the first Tech game I saw in person. I expect both the first offensive play and the Liberty game in general to have a better outcome.

The play called will be a triple option. Whether it ends up being a WR screen, an inside run or Evans keeps will depend on how soft their corners line up, and how hard the end bites.

Zone read option - Evans keeps for a gain of 4 yards off the left side.

That, or Teller surprises everyone and starts at left guard and we run the fumblerooski with him for a 74 yard gain, only to have him fumble the ball at the 1-yard line because he started to celebrate early and drops the ball where he proceeds to kick it out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. He then really does get benched.

Fake double reverse pass, Evans hands off to McMillian on a jet sweep action from the right, who hands the ball to Ford coming from the left side WR position. Rogers crosses behind Isaiah like he's getting the ball from him and then blocks a defender that is closing on Ford who then hits Bucky down the right sideline.

You'll be happy enough when you realize he just ran for 12 yards and a first down, then popped up like a wedding dick ready for more. He's going to be a really good runner, I think.

Evans steps right, then pulls up and throws to the opposite field while Sam Rogers does a wheel route to the left, catching the ball in stride, juking the 1st defender, trucking the 2nd attempted tackle, gets down to about the 5 yard line before a DB catches up to him and trips him up before the TD(hey, I'm a realist)
