An idea against Bama should we play them.

I think Bama will watch tape if the BC game and see that we don’t really pick up a corner blitz really well or have the consistent ability to run when the DE across from out right tackle is very good. Playing Bama will be even worse due to more talent and depth.
Now I know this is pretty unorthodox, but hear me out. If their is anything that our running backs have as a weakness it would be pass blocking. Trevor Lawrence was affected or sacked more last night than any game I can remember. I know that Xavier Thomas is our main depth at DE, but what would you guys think of him setting up in the backfield to give Lawrence extra time? He is a freak of nature and other than being probably as strong as anybody be in the team pound for pound, he is super fast too. Imagine a corner blitz and running into Thomas.
While we are at it, I would love to see XT run the ball on a jet sweep. Bama with Tua is a very y’all order. Not saying it can’t be done. I’m just saying that using our most athletic players in any way should not be out of the question.
Thoughts?

bash the corner blitzer in the head with the ball as hard as he can when he throws it at him at point blank range. An incomplete pass that caused a concussion.
""Next?......Anyone else want to blitz??""

There's a scene like this in The Replacements too.

If we start throwing about 10 - 15 quick slants a game those corner blitzes will stop pretty quick.

I have two thoughts; 1)Concentrate on Duke.I am pretty confident that is what Dabo and staff will be focused on this week. 2)Worry about the playoffs when and only when you secure a spot. Too much football left to speculate on Bama should we play them.

We can talk about other games. It’s not our jobs to focus on Duke and the fact that you have to continuously state “don’t overlook ____” would suggest you don’t really suggest the coaches to do theirs.

This is why you have Garrett Williams. Start playing XT 2 ways consistently and you’re asking for him to get hurt. He’s already on kickoff coverage too.
If he gets a play at the goal line, I wouldn’t be mad but no he doesn’t need to be playing as an HB regularly.

Great idea

But a little easier said than done considering you’re going to have to set up blocking on that side and have the RB lined up on the correct side, have Trevor recognize what side the blitz is coming from and then hope the defense doesn’t switch sides of the blitz when we audible out of it.
