Oregon’s OC Moorhead came out with a fairly different gameplan this week, one which I haven’t seen him deploy since he was the head coach at Fordham several years ago. There was very little downfield passing in this game, instead preferring to keep it almost entirely on the ground with read-option runs, straight handoffs, and RPO screens and toss plays. He also added some formational novelty - a split-out running back in an empty set who’d motion into a shotgun alignment with the QB, and then iterated on that with plays that added a TE in motion or had the RB continue into a swing pass.
