play 15 times and it rarely if ever worked. Mitch was a good receiver, but the fade route was not his best route.

My two least-favorite plays in football

Hard to believe they feel it is their best play in that situation.

It should be someone on the sideline's responsibility to count how many times

I'm not so sure running out of the gun vs. running under center is much differen

I do, however, fully agree on fades. Low percentage of completion. Only

If the QB is the ball carrier, it makes a big difference

Hinta

Yes, wholly agree with that.

There is a huge difference. I played TB in high school. When QB is under

Yes, RB has more speed at line but running under center also goes to a

The issue with 4th and short is that you'll have a stacked box on the

Looks like your preference doesn't play out in the data...hat tip to Belboz

Looks like the QB sneak under center is the most successful

crablegs

Nov 21, 12:48pm

I agree with this...and we should run more of it. But not RB from under center.

I'm curious of your breakdown of the data? Please post the numbers you're using to support your claims.

I guessed offenses are more successul from shotgun than under center

Belboz

Nice link. I love data. Thanks.

Teams are more successful from shotgun from 3rd and 1, but fans don't care

Belboz

I wonder what BYU's data is on this.

Another play I hate is 3rd and 4 and they throw it 25 yards down a sideline.

Or running a rout/throwing a pass three yards short of the line to gain.

On the fades, even if you have a good matchup I still don’t want it if we have 1 play to get it done

JollyGreenGiant

My least favorite play is the fumble touchback.

QBarrister

Bret Engemann running the option has to be up there.

Bobby Lee Swagger

Nov 21, 2:39pm

When we run on fourth and short out of the gun there is usually passing option

There are ways to run downhill out of shotgun. Zone stretch plays on 4th and

We better not see a fade the rest of the year. Those were an atrocity.

#1 drives me nuts for the same reason! STOP giving the defense an extra 3 steps

QB sneak from shotgun! They'll never expect it!

that's probably 50% of Taysom Hill's plays at QB nowadays

4th from shotgun

"His release point is too low" to throw a fade? lol k

Care to elaborate?

crablegs

The release point of a fade is nigh irrelevant.

my least favorite play at BYU. Throwing the 3 yd pass...

He got hit on the throw iirc

My thought is never run a fade with a TE.

ImuaKahuku

Nov 21, 5:33pm

It's really not his release point. He just is not throwing it far and high
