What will ND's first offensive play be?

[portlaNDgal]

Forward pass
Screen pass
Handoff to RB
The option
Notre Dame box

 

[goldandblue]

hand off to R.B.

 

[NDboy15]

Hand off.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Clausen hands off to Thomas. Thomas jukes and is brought down for a 5 yard gain.

 

[NDboy15]

Play-action pass to Carlson is also a decent option.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

I would love to see Play Action--Clausen throws deep down the far sideline to grimes, who leaps in the air and falls forward for a 42 yard gain. You heard it here first. Don't forget

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Play-action pass to Carlson is also a decent option.

I like that idea a lot. Go Irish!

 

[Win4Gipper]

I agree with the play action'ers.....with a big buzz on the first play of the season, see if you cant get a someone to commit up to the run and then throw it long to a burner with single coverage

 

[chadder20]

Screen pass to AA

 

[johnnd05]

Screen pass to AA

Over to where he's standing on the sidelines, you mean?

 

[johnnd05]

I picked screen pass for reasons I can't quite explain, but on second thought I'd say play-action pass down the middle to Carlson.

 

[Steve]

this should be a sports book thing

 

[portlaNDgal]

OK, who besides me picked us to run the option?

 

[KamaraPolice]

Don't we start every game with an incomplete pass 50 yards downfield?

 

[GoshenGipper]

I could see either a run to the right, or play action to the left with a boot to the right.

 

[smerky]

Would a Touchdown be overly optomistic?

 

[NDboy15]

Would a Touchdown be overly optomistic?

Not really, that would sure be nice.

 

[rdrdreamer]

Fake hand off left...short dump to Carlson for a 9 yard gain

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Flanker Screen to George West for 12 yards.

 

[xtekknox]

Handoff to Travis Thomas. Period. End of subject.

 

[NDFan78]

It's pretty safe to say it will be a handoff with the qb being so inexperienced.

 

[NDboy15]

Element of surprise though.

 

[NDFan78]

As long as the play works I'll be happy.

 

[onenybrother]

Hand off tp tth back. Over 10yrd gain

 

[Kauz]

its gonna be a play action hitting carlson across the middle whose running a post

 

[fitz_bu47]

Double Reverse Flea Flicker touchdown Duval Kamara

 

[Mattmags]

well, our first offensive posession will be a game opening kickoff return by George West right up the middle.
