TRY THIS AT HOME
One more game before it all starts to count, so Texas needs to do more of what they did in last week's game against Rice.
Mix it up with Colt McCoy and John Chiles both on the field at the same time. That "Q" formation (when both are in) hasn't been used that much, but I bet we see it more in the friendly confines of DKR Memorial Stadium against the Razorbacks.
I'd especially like to see this play:
Chiles lines up left as wide receiver. Colt hands off to Chris Ogbonnaya who heads left to meet Chiles, whom he tosses the ball to on a reverse headed right. Meanwhile, Colt limps toward the left sideline with a pained look on his face. Everyone else is going right until Chiles stops in his tracks and throws to a now open Colt sprinting down the sideline.
This would be a great play for just outside the red zone.
OK, I know. They'll never run that in a million years. Well, how about actually throwing to Colt when he lines up out there as he did against Rice.
Or better yet, with the unfortunate injury to Blaine Irby, try Chiles at tight end ... and, of course, throw to him.
If nothing else, line them up in the "double shotgun" I've been begging for since last year. Ogbonnaya could either be spread out as a wide receiver or actually behind the two QBs in an "upside-down T." Think of all the fakes that formation would provide before someone darts through a hole caused by confused defensive linemen.
Hey, it could happen!
