WVU is in a shotgun formation with 4 WRs out wide and the RB on the QB’s left. The tackles are in a pass protect stance. The two guards and center are in a three-point run block stance.
From the moment the ball is snapped we can already see something unique about this play. All five linemen drop back a couple steps and then fall to the ground. This is what’s known as a ‘cut’ block. The cut block is completely legal (although it has a reputation of being dirty), so long as the offensive lineman doesn’t perform the cut block on a defensive player that’s already engaged with another offensive player and as long as it’s done within the tackle box (pocket).
