[Husker] Telegraphing plays

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

Keller says in some article I read that he knows the play because of the  
sequence it is coming in since they had practiced it that way all week.  Is  that 
telegraphing?  I guess if someone is at practice, charting all the  plays - 
you might be able to do that.

I  suppose you could read it that way, but you could also read it with the  
idea that they're on the same page. 

Every defense has a way  they're going to play, something they're going to 
take away, something  they're going to give you. If the quarterback knows 
what the game plan is,  what you're going to try to do as an offense, then 
why wouldn't he know  the play the coach wants to run. Seems to me this is 
more like planning  and communication doing well, not that Callahan is 
predictable. 

Is  Callahan predictable? Well.... we used to have someone on the list that  
would do a play chart, but they're long gone, so we're making the  
assumption (or not) that he's predictable. 

I would guess that  coaches mostly know what the other team is going to do 
most of the time,  so it isn't so much a matter of being completely 
unpredictable, but a  combination of catching a defense off-guard at the 
same time being  successful in execution the base plays you want to run.
