Pet peeve: Wake just ran a reverse to the short side of the field. Why do teams do that? Plays like that require an open field and room to run, and running to the short side takes away a third of the field.

I see what you're saying, but if nobody ever ran reverses or end-arounds to the short side, nobody would ever have to defend against them - even if they are easier. It can also be used to break a tendency like running to the wide side or running over one side of the line over the other.

Fair enough, you never want to be predictable, but I think the very definition of a trick play like a reverse is that you're departing from a tendency. You definitely have to run to both sides, but the reverse is called, maybe, once every two games, and you want it to be a big-yardage play.
