Maybe not the right thread for this, but why not do the stupid tush push play? Line up Miyan Williams under center, two offensive linemen behind him, and push for 2 yards.

Why do that when you can run a WR screen, jet sweep or shotgun pitch to the short side of the field! They will never see those coming.

With 1 yard or less to go in critical situations, that should be the only play ran. The analytics shows it works the vast majority of the time and for good reason. Snap under center so you can go forward immediately, jumbo set of your biggest blockers in a concentrated area, and you have 2-3 big guys behind you pushing you across...that is going to work more than any other play in that scenario now that the push is legal.

And aside from the success rate, the QB doesn't get hurt in that play...no full running motion to twist or break anything, just literally leaning forward with help behind you. Not sure why we refuse to use that advantage.

Day also fielded questions Tuesday about multiple other injured players. Day confirmed that backup quarterback Devin Brown suffered “a bit of a setback” with his ankle injury during Ohio State’s pregame warmups before the Michigan State game, but said Brown is “all right” and should be able to practice this week.

It sure works for the Eagles (i.e. QB tush push):
