This is essentially the same play, but thrown once to the left and once to the right. Furman beat Clemson twice with this for long gains.
I honestly don't recall our offense running much of a true screen game in years. While these throws are short, they aren't "easy." Trying to weave the ball in against those long Clemson pass rushers is no simple task for a QB. We also seem to have a lot of faith in our running backs as pass catchers.
This is also great play calling by Roper. He knew Clemson was going to try to push up field hard on passing downs and called plays to counteract it. On the Abrams catch, you can see how much attention Clemson paid to Ryan Miller, who had a CB covering him across the field.
Any time you run a screen and the offensive line doesn't have anyone to block, you've got 'em. Against a team other than Clemson, that Abrams play is probably a touchdown.
Also, watch Abrams deliver a hit on the Clemson defender to finish the run. That wasn't the only time #32 put a wallop on a Tiger defender.
