Mixon and Deddrick have both been impressive. I think we see Dan open up the playbook even more with those 2 going forward. Man when I think about the offensive weapons that we have, who does an opponent key on? We got Fitz, Aeris, Lee, Kylin, Gibson in the backfield. We got Gray, Mixon, Thomas and Gabe in the receiving corps. We got Jordan Thomas, Farrod and even Justin Johnson at TE. I may be leaving out somebody, but seriously who do you stop if you're an opposing DC?

I don't remember a jet sweep or reverse of any kind either. Mixon and Deddrick could take one to the house on any spot on the field. The amazing thing was that we didn't show too much against LSU. There wasn't too many plays that you haven't seen from us a hundred times.

Great points! You noticed that too. Our running plays were very standard run plays, nothing exotic and they still couldn't stop us. Some zone read, a couple of straight QB runs, some counters, just plain ole vanilla runs. That's the exciting part, we stuffed it down their throat without any deception at all. We just plain whipped them at the line of scrimmage, which makes us that much more dangerous going forward.
ETA and the right side of the line with Calhoun and Reese absolutely whipped the dl's butt all night. On Fitz's first td run Calhoun and Reese absolutely collapsed that side of the line.

Loved seeing Mullen finally bring the counter back. It was money with Boobie in '09, don't remember seeing it since until last weekend.

Boobie was a beast on the counter! I bet we ran it a million times against UK that year! He took it to the house on that counter play a bunch that year.

It was a staple with Ballard.

Reese is playing fantastic for a freshman.

There were a couple of wrinkles that I liked that we added. We ran the counter that La Tech ran against us and I liked that. I mentioned that to my friends in Ruston when I was watching the game. We also ran an empty set with two TE's and two WR's and Aeris lined up as a WR and got a big first down out of it to Farrod Green. We also used a lot of bunch formations and we continue to see more and more pro style things- of course the play action pass on third and two to a WIDE open Mixon for a TD was off of pro-style formation.
We also had a set which was a two back set but Deddrick was lined up as a RB and we ran either a corner or a wheel route to him and he was open but we overthrew it early in the game.
I think Dear is the guy that when healthy is the best at the reverses and jet sweeps. The fact that we have a lot of small WR's probably limits our blocking on the perimeter on those kinds of plays plus I'm not sure how Jordan Thomas would be running a reverse because I could see that taking a looooonnnngggg time to develop. Those are all probably factors as to why we haven't seen many of those this year.

That 2 back set with Deddrick in the backfield we ran against Charleston Southern. We ran it when Deddrick caught his TD.
