The Sideline guys did a great job with this one, how about the board?
You are Mike Norvell, we are the receiving team vs GT and after a decent return we are to begin our first drive of the 2024 season at the 36 yard line. . . What is the first play you call?
So many options available, and obviously you want to have some success on your first drive, so a low percentage down field heave would probably not be the smartest. . .although it would be unexpected.
I think the entire world expects us to run the ball on the first play, for good reason. Even with GT expecting us to run, it would still be nice to see how we fare against them, even with them keying on the run. An understandable play call.
My take. . .play action pass to Morlock. With so much expectation on running the ball, faking a handoff to him and throwing a nice safe pass to Morlock for 10 yards or so could do a lot for getting DJU involved, and building some confidence if it is successful.
Thoughts?
