Bulldogs gameplan in Stillwater

By now everyone is aware that Stafford was the number one draft pick in last year’s NFL draft, followed up by Moreno being taken mid way through the first. I believe Richt’s pro style offensive style helped these guys in their NFL value. A lot of people are falling in love with the spread offense, but I believe that the pro set is still the way to go. The 2009 team is built for the pro set very well. This year we have a strong offensive line and a TE to throw to (Last year we only had 10 catches out of the TE position).
When the Bulldogs get out to Stillwater I think you will see a heavy dose of two things…Shotgun – 3 WR/1 RB sets so that we can spread out the Cowboys on defense and attack their inexperienced secondary and I think we will see 2 TE/2 RB/1 WR set so that we can pound the ball down their throat. The Big 12 isn’t a “running” conference so we would like to scheme opposite of their conference tendencies. Once we start moving the rock on the Cowboys, it should open up play action on that 2 TE set and lookout!
The bulldog red zone should be much improved this year as well, featuring both Green and Marlon Brown. Bobo could go 2 WR/2 TE/1 RB and let those two 6'5 weapons work downfield on undersized CBs. I think that CMR, Bobo, and Searels are smart coaches that will turn over a new leaf this year in trying to find playmakers no matter what their grade status is…
