FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 20 Yes, the “Sniffer” is a thing in college football. While we look at who that player is in the Oregon offense, it is also important to recognize the innovations we are seeing from Offensive Coordinator Will Stein.

Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted September 20 I loved the ISO when I coached. I hadn't realized this was happening without a fullback. Thanks for studying the video and educating this old Duck! Will Stein is a genius! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted September 20 One thing for certain, this article didn't stink. Thanks again Charles for another terrific article that explains the game within the game. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 4 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Charles, The first thing I in thought about was the sequential plays. I can spot three that might work, but I'm just a hack. I certainly hope Stein is working those sequential plays in practice, and keeps them under wraps until Ohio State comes to town. We'll have to see. The Buckeye LBs are pretty darn good in pass coverage, so anything to keep the off balance would disrupt their very effective pass defense. Great article. You observed something I didn't catch. Not even sure those plays were part of of the first two games Did you catch anything else from last week? Edited September 20 by Mike West Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is a LONG SEASON, and you gotta keep some stuff in your back-pocket to refer to later. For like next Friday.... Because I have a backlink order to fill...I will be writing a short article for Saturday with some other tidbits. You know, a title about how the TEs at Oregon block the ISO play--would have been boring as hell. But throw the word "Sniffer" into the title, and everyone is wondering what a "Sniffer" has to do with Oregon football. Fun stuff! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autzen Magic No. 6 Share Posted September 20 As always, great analysis. Thank you. I remember watching in real time the second play you highlight and wishing James had cut to the right after getting to the second level. Watching it again, I feel even more certain that if James had done so, it would have been a huge gain (not that the yards he got weren't nice). 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
