The 2nd half offense definitely had a "Spring Game" sense about it. Which is fine I guess but after a bunch of beers I find myself annoyed that the likes of GB and TF weren't getting enough reps. I am sure they will get their time though as the season progresses.

Just taking a glance at the tape. If the QB recognizes the corner blitz (twice) maybe Diaco might want to change to a check down defensive play instead of still sending the corner and giving up 10+. A surprise attack needs, well, surprise...
This is more than likely something they will do in the future. Sometime during the season I would assume we will show a look similar, and check out of it to throw opposing quarterbacks off.

In this game, even as a fan, I could see that everytime they ran that blitz scheme Temple went to the same quick check. Its a relatively low risk, high reward blitz in this case because you are confident in what they will do to counter.

This is the "game within the game". You cannot be certain how a team will react to a certain look unless they have been given it multiple times. After you see how they will react this allows for different in game adjustments.

Obviously, in this game it didn't look like we adjusted that particular look, but just my 2 cents on the reasons behind running it multiple times.

No problem with them running it multiple times, I just hope in the future they do a better job of either:
1- Disguising the play better pre-snap.
or
2- Checking out of it when the QB reads and audibles to counter.

Every team in football does the fake snap to get a read on the D. How about faking the pre-read, then doing something else?
