Heh -- that's why I mentioned play faking to freeze the U! But seriously, you'd have a tough time reading "pass" with these coaches' teams. It's mostly play action & quick stuff, the linemen pop blocking. Single wing stuff like running passes where they're showing an inside run, get up to the line and suddenly whip the ball out while jumping for a throw over the middle.
