What is your first offensive play?
I would like to talk some football, and I would like to have fun doing so. I know we fans do not control the first offensive play call, but if we did, what play would it be?
For me, I would line up in Pistol formation (a formation we have used this year, but not frequently). I would have Gallon and Dileo (Chesson if Dileo is out) out wide right, Funchess and Kerridge to Gardner's left and right in the backfield, and Fitz behind Gardner.
Ball is snapped. Fake zone stretch to the right. Throwback to Funchess for TE screen with Lewan and Bosch blocking for him.
Best case: State defense overpursues the run fake, and Lewan carries Funchess on his back into the end zone. Marcus Rush called for Roughing the Quarterback, and on the kickoff, Brady Hoke busts out the onside kick that he didn't want to show against Indiana. Michigan recovers. Repeat sequence until we are up by 70 points.
Worst case: Incomplete pass (unless it's the Akron game). A sack could happen, but I would hope Devin could throw it at the feet of Funchess before that would happen.
So what is your first offensive play?

Max protect play action pass with Gallon underneath and Fuchess on a vert.

Worst case, it's 2nd and 10, no different than running into a stacked line.

I'd make Lewan at TE on the right side, then run a stretch play to the left.
...then I'd line up and do it again.

PA Power? A play action run? I'm confused.

I'd go trips right....Gardner in the Gun, Fitz to the right, and Funchess 1 on 1 on the left hand side.
Depending on coverage either a read option or PA to Funchess on perhaps a quick post or go route.

1st down every time today should be called pass with one or two reads then take off. If we run Fitz even once on first down today Borges should be flogged.

"Go" route combo. Dileo reading the seam, Gallon to the flat, Funchess on the go route.

"The quarterback. Two receivers line up to the left, one to the right. There's a flanker lined up to the left behind the quarterback." "He gives the ball-- No, he doesn't-- He doesn't get the ball. The receiver goes all the way over there to the left. Once the quarterback has the ball, he fakes to the left. No. He fakes to the right. He doesn't fake. He thinks about faking. He pretends to fake."
Courtesy of coach Klein, this will be the play.
