I had the chance to go to the UF-UGA game last Saturday in Jacksonville. I recomend it to anyone who likes football, beer or pretty girls. If you like all three it is tough to beat
Anyhow, Georgia came out in a 2 deep look and UF was just killing them. UF would send 3-4 guys vertical, one of whom would break off his stem at 12-15 yards and be wide open. They were gaining 17-25 yards on each completion. When Georgia would go man under, the QB would just run. Often, I think UF got a pre-snap read with their motion, but even if they didn't, it is pretty obvious when 3 or 4 underneath defenders turn their backs to run with the vertical routes that they are in man.
After it was 14-0, UGA adjusted and the UF offense did not score again.
My questions:
Is it sound to run cover 2 against a spread team with a running QB?
If so, what is the right way to do it?
If not, what were the UGA coaches thinking?
