I also would love to know the answer

It was definitely curious.

Were the WRs banged up? Did we just need to get a player on the field for a play as to not get a penalty? He seemed to get after it with blocking.

Yes

It was to create confusion for the defense so they wouldn't key on Barkley. They had to be on the lookout for a trick play.

yes

YAJ2112 : 1/3/2019 12:24 pm : link

to see if he could replace OBJ on the outside when he becomes the starting QB next season.

I assumed

pjcas18 : 1/3/2019 12:28 pm : link

it was as a decoy/trick play

Never heard an explanation.

He couldn't figure out the QB thing

So they moved him to WR...

my guess is

bigbluehoya : 1/3/2019 12:52 pm : link

they had a gadget play on contingent on getting a particular look from the defense. They didn't get the look, went to plan B or C.

in addition to this, Surmur said they saw something on film that another team did with 2 QBs. So they threw KL out as a decoy, and apparently it worked

Go back

Trying to make us old guys

Think he is the second coming of Jeff Hostetler

I totally missed

Pete in MD : 1/3/2019 6:28 pm : link

that play. Were they trying to set up the same play OBJ threw the TD on?

Hey

It did wonders for Jeff Hostetler
