MYOB:

Davis has taken stuff from A&M before. When A&M had Steve Kragthorpe and Ray Dorr running their offense from 1997-2000, texas would often have a play in their arsenl in the second half of the season that A&M had been running since the beginning of the year.

Eberhart:

Assuming you’re looking at a 4-0-4 or 4-1-4 alignment on the defensive front, you leave the backside OLB unblocked, and zone/double the backside DE, with the LG mving to the second level to block Will, zone/double the NG, with the RG moving to the second level to block Mike, and the LT would reach/seal the platside DE inside. The dive read would be right off the double-team of the NG, pulling Mike to play flow, while the QB and pitch man option the playside OLB. Both WRs go deep/stalk block; TE runs cross/stalks to take SS out of the play. Put Limas Sweed or Billy Pittman at flanker on the weakside, to draw deep cover from the FS.

Since K-State apparently runs a 3-4, how would this be affected ?

CA, I love it. Why not force DC’s to use limited time and resources preparing for two completely different offensive packages? Then, let matchups determine when and how much of the Chiles set to use in a given game.

Isn’t this essentially what A&M has been running for the past five years?

I’d love to see texas run this series, especially against OU. It’s basically guaranteeing you’ll get your fragile QB killed.

Now, put Chiles at QB, and assuming he actually makes the right read and KNOWS THE PLAYS (something I wonder about after watching him against Rice), you’ve got yourself a nice robust series.
Which means, of course, that Davis will never go for it.

Having Chiles run a little Wildcat/Wildhog series with either Charles or Quan Cosby as the motion back would also be a nice, effective series, especially with your WRs, but Davis will never do it.

I’m sorry, I should be more specific — I don’t mean the receiver who catches the ball (at least, not at first), but rather the guy in the slot.

Why wouldn’t he cover the receiver?

OK, you don’t understand the play. We’ve run it about 5,000 times and at the most it gets knocked down on a blitz once every two or three dozen times. That’s why we run it so much, it’s safe. Like Huck said, if he doesn’t fall for it, he turns to pursue and catches up with the receiver a few yards down field.

I think Redfoot’s on the right track.

If he doesn’t fall for the play fake then we end up with a short completion that goes for a 2-yard gain.

Which would be just devastating to our offense what with our lack of experience dealing with such plays.
