The huddle had only been broken for eight seconds before Bill O’Brien stopped the play in its tracks.
“Who is the F?” O’Brien shouted, alluding to one of the three titles for the tight end position in his system. Sophomore Jesse James raised his hand as O’Brien walked up to the line of scrimmage, talking to James about proper alignment.
With the offense properly set, O’Brien stepped back again as transfer quarterback Tyler Ferguson stood in the backfield shouting out commands. This time it took O’Brien only three seconds to step in.
“We’ve got to get this right this year,” O’Brien said lining up next to Ferguson. “Here I’ll show you this one.”
