If you’re interested, Virginia’s former director of analytics has done a deep dive into what’s behind explosive pass plays. (It is a subject for which he can claim some degree of expertise, based on last season’s statistics.)
What’s cool for me is that factors he examines — “reduced” formations, pre-snap motion, play action, for example — are all part of Monken’s offensive scheme. There’s some good analysis there, so give it a read.

I’m not sure this is the point of pride Scott Frost thinks it is.
That kind of takes me back to the 2003 Georgia-Clemson game.

After the series Sharpe went to the sideline and puked on coach Tommy Bowden’s shoes.

With the news that Urban Meyer is returning to the broadcast crew for Fox’ college football game day show comes one question: what exactly is the demographic for people who say, “I ain’t watchin’ BIG NOON KICKOFF unless Corch is there”? Seriously?
… but it’s closer than I’d ever want to see a school of mine go. Good grief.
