Topic:  Can we work on that victory formation? Author Message Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,465 Status: Offline     Can we work on that victory formation?    Posted: 11/3/2011 8:05:15 PM  Can we have just a regular victory formation with the QB under center?  I realize we're out of the gun/pistol all game and the snaps are different from having the QB under center.  But after nearly losing the ball on the 3rd and 4th down plays with time running out, I think they need to get under center.  If either of the bobbled snaps had caused a turnover, it could've cost us the game. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

This worries me too.  Also, why can't we ever go under center and do a QB sneak on third or fourth and short.  Last Edited: 11/3/2011 8:14:02 PM by OhioCatFan The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Rooting for Akron is like cheering on the Taliban.

But if he were under center there would have been better communication with the center and the bad snap might not have happened at all. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by.

Very true.  I guess we will never know.  I am just glad that TT was able to recover the fumble and then run out the clock on 4th down.

Perhaps. But no excuse for a verteran coaching staff.
