    west virginia PB - Colorado school of mines play?

    Hey everyone,

    Just wondered if anyone knows what the "Colorado school of mines" play (QB does a one touch pass to a sweeping receiver, made famous [kinda] by Tavon Austin & Geno Smith last year) is called/if it is in either the West Virginia Play book or if it is in the game at all.

    Hope y'all know what I'm talking about, Been looking in wvu's pb & have been unsuccessful.

    Unfortunately, it is not in the game. I know exactly what play you are talking about.

        2012 Orange Bowl or youtube any WVU highlights from the past 2 years. They use a variation of the play more than 50% of the time in every game.

              If its in the game, its in the game. Except when its not. Great play, would be hard to insert properly.

              If you would like to see the Wing T in action, you can check out my twitch channel. I stream there..badly. I post highlights on my youtube channel as well!

                The purpose of the "touch pass" is that if the ball is dropped it is an incomplete forward pass.....it takes some practice to get the timing down but in the end it is less risky than a handoff in that you could have a fumble and lose possession.

                  Disappointing.. While I probably wouldn't be effective with it, the novelty of running it would have been something. I don't believe wvu has any shovel option plays either?

                  good read on why the play worked so well

                  Also in that link they describe the play Steadman Bailey ran to score a 87 yard TD from an undercut Wheel route. Don't think that's in there either? Guessing you'd need to "create" it through pre snap audibles?

                    It is a cool play and I would love for it to be in the game, but it would work almost exactly the same as a Jet Sweep out of the Shotgun formations. If you are looking to recreate the play as closely as possible, look for Jet Sweeps like the one out of Shotgun Spread Flex.

                      You could possibly try a shovel option and just use the other option as a blocker to mimic it.
