Actually I’ve been talking about the box out vs the face for a couple years. I called the first TD to JJ. Thing is, if he is single covered on the wide side near the goal line it is the right call. JJ is a tremendous rebounder. Boxes out well, seals, maintains position and catches the ball at the apex. Everything you teach in rebounding. And KJ throws that pass beautifully. It is indefensible if executed well. And they almost always do execute it well.

As Hulk will surely mention, these aren't traditional fades (in the sense of throwing an arching ball at the receiver's back shoulder).  We run a box out where our bigger receivers establish position in front of a DB and don't let the smaller DB's get to it. 

I noted in game that no one seems to complain about how predictable it is any more.

Actually the way to defend it is double team JJ down near the goal line. Because he’s not gonna let anybody get inside his arms. He’s too good at keeping them on his back. Take your chances with the others. Seriously, everybody knows Stanford gonna run that play. If they don’t they’re freaking idiots.

JJs second TD was a different route. He made a beautiful move at the line of scrimmage to free himself.

I don’t know why teams don’t automatically double him near the goal line. I suspect that may start to happen beginning next week. I certainly would do it.

It's almost as easy as giving a guy a twelve yard cushion at the snap, and having the receiver run a ten yard hook.

Defenses will figure it out. Herbstreit noted during a play early on that the defended ripped the arm away, thus keeping the receiver from having two hands on the ball. That's the way to defend it if you're shorter and boxed out. Play the arms.
