[Hook'em Horns]

This is almost exactly how I intended for it to be played out when I thought of it. The only element that I did not think of was the 7 seconds to tell the defense pitch or run and if no decision was made then the defense would get more time to adjust for the pitch and adjust again if the offense decides to pass.

Here is how I played it. I took what I thought was the least amount of time and what I thought was the most efficient and it worked great!

Once the option is ran and the board is stopped the offensive pass clock should start automatically! In the DFW its a 20 second pass clock. As the clock is going the offense is scanning the field for open receivers. The offense needs to make a decision to pass, pitch or run within that 20 seconds.

If the offense decides to pitch or run that is all that needs to be stated, "pitch or run". A decision to do either is not made until the defense is through adjusting. After the offensive coach says "pitch or run" the defense would automatically adjust to defend whatever they saw on the field would be the best option for the defense. The offense would not determine whether it was going to be QB keeper or a pitch until the defense was finished adjusting. If the offense does not say "pitch or run" before the 20 second pass clock is up it should be an automatic QB keeper. If it was a pass the defense would not get any adjustments until after the completion.

Why would the offense need to wait 7 seconds to state pass and even more time for the defensive adjustment to decide to pass. This waste very valuable time and gives the offense 7 additional seconds plus defensive adjustment time and pass clock time (47 seconds if you use DFW time) to scan the field and make an attempt creating another disadvantage for the defense.

This will be a very effective play if run correctly. As for the audible, I think we need to go with the 4 for 2. The TSO rules do not allow a wishbone backfield but with the college element it does so if the offense gets one extra guy the so should the defense.

Here is the other scenario on the 4 for 2. Under the current rule set the defense gets to audible 1 guy regardless if the offense audibles 1, 2 or 3. With the wishbone being an option the defense should get to audible 2 as well regardless if the offense audible 1, 2, 3 or 4. If not people will just flop side with only 2 of the backs in a wishbone set which will cripple the defense if they are only allowed to move the 1.
