Eli Drinkwitz Was a Lazy Play Caller in 2022

The thesis is the title. You clicked on it, you know why you’re here. But before I go into my argument, let me concede a few points:

  • I am not a scheme guy. I have interest and a passing knowledge in it but am far away from being an expert.
  • This is college football, not the pros. A team has the two weeks in spring, all of August, and then 10 hours per week during the season to practice. Point being: play callers can whip up good opening scripted plays but, as a game wears on, most OCs are going to resort to the stuff they’re most comfortable with/they believe the team executes the best.
