Just curious why folks think we would go under center on the first play if we are the receiving team. Isn't that something we would more likely save for a short yardage or red-zone situation?
Running a play under would send a message this is a new coaching staff with very little connection to the past.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Yeah, I can see that but I think there would be a better time to send that message. Just my opinion. Get hit for a loss and the wrong message goes out. I would send the message with a series featuring a new mix of plays (pass heavy) and save the under center for the red zone when it would make sense. Just me though. I'm hardly what anyone would call a creative genius. LOL

Not sure about the first play, but if it is now part of the playbook on offense, I would not mind seeing it with a tune up game like ETSU.

Pretty sure Coach Drink made it clear in his Yosef Tour talks that it would be part of the playbook. I imagine we won't have to wait too long to see it.

QB sneak for a TD from the 1 yard line. Previous play, Hennigan returned opening kickoff for 99 yards but a laser pointer distracted him and he ran out of bounds at the 1 yard line.

Will the QB sneak be from under center? Had to ask.

I think I know who the culprit will be.

Well, the first pass won’t be to Sutton but he will have plenty of chances to breakdance in the end zone this year for sure.

Pitch to Evans and he takes it 27 yards. Next play screen to Evans and he houses it. The route is on

Marcus Cox up the middle for 82 yards to the 2 yard line. Armanti Edwards does a triple front flip from shotgun to score.

I agree with MAD Doc, no more of this defer crap. Take the kickoff, return for TD and set the tone from get go.
