Exactly. And EVERY SINGLE TEAM does this! Watch film to try to uncover a
weakness and see what kind of plays you have in your book will work vs. that specific team, and if needed draw up a few more and test them out in practice (lots of plays tried in practice will never see the light of day). The game plan vs Navy is going to be different than the game plan vs Washington State.

I wonder what people think a "game plan" is? Do they think it's just the coaches talking about a plan before the game?

Bronco: Coach Anae, I think we can have success with Jamaal this game. Let's run a bunch.
Anae: Ok Bronco. Sounds like a plan!! I'll write that down on the sheet of plays that I use on the sideline: "Run a bunch this week".

And while we're here, what adjustments are people expecting? Say there is a DL that is getting heavy pressure on the QB early on. The adjustment might be a personnel change, it might be a change in blocking assignments/scheme by the Oline, it might be keeping a RB back to help protect the QB, it might be a change in the plays called (quicker passes, running to the gap left by the crazy DL, a screen pass, etc.). There are a ton of adjustments possible, most of which the fans won't recognize from the sideline. Unless you know what the game plan is you have no idea what adjustments have been made!! Now, if you want to criticize a coach for not making a specific adjustment that you would make, that's your right as an armchair QB. But don't be so naive to think that because you don't recognize a subtle change (remember, you have another team that's countering your "adjustments" with "adjustments" of their own) that Robert Anae somehow made it through Mike Leach at TT, Bronco at BYU, and Rich Rod at AZ without figuring out that the offense needs to make adjustments during the game and that he got by on his good looks/charm alone. The man knows how to make an adjustment.

Rant over..
