Although they aren't *aligned* in the 4-3 look, they have their 4-3 personnel out on the field. It looks to me like they're in a 4-3 defense. It's a little hard to see the formation and the alignment from the sideline view, so let's switch to the endzone view. They offense is in a trips formation, with the strength of the formation to its left (the side that the TE is on) and the trips WRs to the other side (the right side). Cal is facing a 1st and 10 from its own 27 yard line in the first quarter.Ĭal has 11 personnel on the field (3 WRs, 1 RB, 1 TE). Join me in this analysis, as we look at a play where Cal lost yardage on a run play versus USC. And I hope to discuss perhaps why this play failed. So in this following analysis, I want to go over a play which failed. Some times, and perhaps more often than not, the reasons why a play fails are usually a combination of many of the above reasons. Or a play could fail just due to some good ol' plain bad luck (WR's toe barely stepping out of bounds, player tripping or losing his footing, etc.). Or a play could not succeed due to the defense being in a formation which the offensive coordinator wasn't expecting which just so happens to confuse the offensive players on the field or alternatively puts the defensive players in a better position to defend the play. For example, a play could not succeed due to poor execution by players on the field or just even better execution by the defense. I think it's possible that the play could suck, the playcall sucks, and the offensive coordinator sucks, but there are also other reasonable explanations for why a play might not succeed. Quite often, a fan's quick conclusion will be that "the play sucks" or "the playcall sucks" or "the offensive coordinator sucks." But is this necessarily true? I don't think so. Rely on the following football analysis at your own risk.
