Let me caveat this by stating that I have never coached but have watched college football for over 50 years and saw a few things I question and a few others that I did not see that I would like to see.
#1 - On about 3-4 plays where Hack was under center and the TB was lined up deep, it looked like the TB was a good 8 yards or so behind the LOS. In every case when the TB was handed the ball, a LB or a DE who got around the end of the OL got to the TB before he got to LOS for a loss. I like the handoff from the shotgun as the defense can't automatically key run.
#2A - We do not throw little flairs to our TBs or TEs. It would seem to me that lining up say Carter as an H back behind the RT and then have him dip his head into the line as if he were blocking only to quickly slide into the right flat, while simultaneously bringing the WR lined up right back to the center to pass by the LB who will have to tackle Carter, would result in short passes with a high probability of success with little chance of TO. The WR can't block, but can get in the way to slow down the LB reaction.
#2B - Same thing for a good screen pass scheme.
#3 - I liked Hack's running and think this could get us a few key first downs this year, just as he did in the bowl game. However, he is a big arm QB who struggles to find short receivers as secondary or tertiary looks. On the interception he had a RB and an end right in front of him, both open. Easily could have been a 10 yard gain. At the same time, he is what he is, and the long pass to Blacknall and the TD pass to Godwin in the bowl game is his identity.
