Is that a schematic of how long it takes one of Coach Bollman's plays to develop??

Here's a successful concept from LSU.

SI.com

"Instead of having 80 different pass plays, we run 20 different pass plays out of four different formations and try to camouflage them with motion and other wrinkles," said Kragthorpe. "People have used the term 'simplify,' but I don't think it's simple -- we just try to conceptualize the offense [for the quarterbacks]. There's probably not as much volume in the passing game. The way we teach the quarterback how to read the defense has helped him too."


LSU's running and passing games are closely intertwined, and opposing defenses are generally more focused on slowing down the Tigers' stable of powerful running backs: Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard. But they also have to contend with the Tigers' talented receiving corps, led by Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham Jr. Being surrounded by that much talent is a luxury for any quarterback, but Lee's most important task when he does throw the ball remains not giving it away.
"My redshirt freshman year, I had some interceptions that were returned for touchdowns," said Lee, who's completed 63.2 percent of his throws for 1,250 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. "I put my team in a lot of bad situations. I just tried to grow from it, keep the ball in our hands, get smarter with the football."


Merely avoiding interceptions seemed like a step forward in LSU's season-opening win over then third-ranked Oregon, Lee's first start since 2009. He was a modest 10-of-22 for 98 yards and a touchdown, but the thinking was that with such a strong running game (currently averaging 189 yards per game) and dominant defense (No. 4 nationally) the Tigers could perhaps contend with a modest passing attack.


Two weeks later, however, Lee showed he could do more than just manage a game. Leading just 9-6 early in the fourth quarter at Mississippi State, on a first down at the Bulldogs' 19-yard-line, Lee uncorked an unexpected and perfectly thrown fade pass to Randle in the end zone.


LSU's coaches have seemingly entrusted Lee with more each week, and he's been particularly effective in the red zone, where he's gone 12-of-18. Nine of those 12 completions have gone for touchdowns.


Jefferson, too, has been noticeably more effective since his return from suspension four weeks ago. He's 6-of-10 for 123 yards, two touchdowns and no picks while playing in selected situations. In turn, the Tigers have improved from 92nd to eighth nationally in pass efficiency (162.4).

Just a question, but is it possible to call a similar pass play to one that scores a TD when the team is elsewhere in the field? I was simply astonished to see what a hook route underneath, followed by an out route behind did to the defense.

Nice pass Braxton, nice catch Stoney, congratulations on the lucky coin flip Bollman.

There are no 'levels' to OSU's passing game.

It's a very common route combination. Far too basic for an offensive genius like the Bollrus to employ too often.
