Interesting video. I would like to know what caused the right side of the line NOT to move.

ok, I've seen plays where the entire line stays still and then the QB does a quick screen pass, and whoever receive it then has an entire o-line to block for them... but umm, that definitely isn't what I just saw.

I seem to remember while watching FSU-BYU that the announcers mentioned that the FSU O-line coach instructs his line to freeze and not move when they see a defender jump offside. I think in this case the right side thought they had caught UF offside and so they froze when the left side didn't...

But the one guy NEVER moved, not even after the play had clearly gone on. It was like he had lost all movement.

Proof-positive that the FSU line beat us down on so many plays because they are, in fact, robots.

LOL. I knew there had to be something to it. That right tackle must have missed the latest software upgrade and was infected by malware.

Man, I even watched the game, and I don't remember that play. Then again, I was switching back and forth between the BYU game and almost entirely to the BYU game once it looked like Florida had the game well in hand. Perhaps, the OLine coach might want to rethink his "don't move" philosophy after watching the poor quarterback run for his life.

You should probably change your name to kindacougarfan if that statement is true.

Bingo!


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
