Have we kept the O and D vanilla thus far?

On the flip side, hopefully we have some good tape on ucf from the UF game. I'm sure they pulled everything out in hopes of an upset.  After they knew they had no chance they likely shut it down....based on the score maybe we DONT have much tape on them.  

This will be and advantage for us.  They had to bring everything and the kitchen sink in their game plan to even have a prayer to beat UF, we on the other hand looked very vanilla especially on defense.  Eventhough UCF was out classed we will have an idea of what to expect on game day while if we just open our offense up a bit and play with some aggressive blitz schemes and play more zone coverages what they see on game day will be nothing like the tape they have.

Beastie, I think its the opposite.  I don't think UCF showed anything in that loss to UF.  They were down big early and played very vanilla from what I hear.  Neither team has shown much.

We ran that out pattern to the sideline about 7 times too many vs. FIU (and got burned.)

We didn't appear to blitz very much vs either FIU or Mcneese.  Also appeared to stay in a very base defense, allowing 1 on 1 coverage in the secondary on a regular basis.  

We've handed off from the shotgun and ran up the middle, oh, I don't know, what feels like 70% of the time.  

The one time we did get creative (Taurus' end around) it worked out great.  

Question is do we think we are keeping vanilla due to lack of knowledge of the offense, or for ucf's "benefit"?  After all we all  know how CJL feels about the tinmen.  

a myth my friend

you want to practice what you plan on doing the year during first 2 games

the bulls have no tricks to pull out of their hats

they just need to play to their talent level and they should be able to handle ftu/ou/oc

there is no sceret weapon!

The reverse only worked because the defender didn't wrap on the tackle, he just attempted to hit him.

That was mainly due to a very young D in 2004. We have a young O now with some playmakers. The D will keep us in enough games while the O gels.

We certainly haven't shown much on either side of the ball to this point. I expect to see differrent looks this weekend.

well, im sure there are some plays that we have kept under wraps (we  havent run any "trick" plays yet and we know how rod loves those)

one thing that bugs me is that we havent thrown the ball downfield AT ALL!!!

if your running game is medicore, which ours is right now, then you need to stretch the field and keep the safeties honest.  i say first offensive play of the game we see something go down field for a big knockout off the bat.
