Topic:  Someone HAS to explain this to me! Author Message FlashGary General User Member Since: 6/18/2013 Location: Long Island, NY Post Count: 380 Status: Offline     Someone HAS to explain this to me!    Posted: 9/22/2018 7:09:51 PM  Someone please explain this to me, because I just don't get it: I watched with stunned disbelief when A.J. Ouellette lined up so deep behind Nathan Rourke when Ohio was second-and-one for the go-ahead touchdown late in the game. I absolutely couldn't believe it! Ouellette lined up that way the previous play and ran the ball to the one. I'm expecting two (or three) quarterback sneaks from under center, or hands offs from tight backfield formations. The ONLY opportunity Cincy had to blow up a play was if Ohio lined the back up deep. Yet we did it again! So will someone please explain this to me? I really don't get it. A missed block and a defender gets you for a three-yard loss in the backfield. Why did we give them the opportunity to do the ONLY thing that could blow up our spot? As Lt. Columbo would say, one more thing: on the third-and-three at the end of the third quarter, anyone know why Julian Ross was in the game to run up the middle, being that moving the pile certainly isn't his thing? Just askin'.

Either AJ was in the wrong formation and nobody caught it, or it was *iss poor planning. Maybe we've gotten so far away from having the QB under center that we don't know where the RB belongs. If you're going to have AJ that far back, run a QB sneak and use AJ to push the pile. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Just askin'. I think that's a fair question. I know this has come up in years past about goal line formations. I don't understand it either, but I do know that Ohio isn't the only one that seemingly refuses to go into a goal line formation in those situations. Still, a head scratcher.
