OK but that seems like semantics for practical purposes... an audible for two players, not 11, so yeah it can have a different name...

certainly JJ would have to know the pass is coming to him, as the way the play ran he was just a decoy (which didn't attract any game) and might not even look for a pass.

Back to the board

#Michigan HC Kyle Whittingham says QB Bryce Underwood can check out of a run play if they don’t get a look they don’t like…. I still think people who expected him to check out of the Marshall TD and throw to JJ are dumb* - By WOK September 21, 2026 at 10:55:26 AM
- he didn't have to check out of anything - stand up and lob him the ball, no one would have reacted fast enough to cover or get illegally downfield* - By CBusBlue September 21, 2026 at 11:32:12 AM

      - I’m not necessarily saying that he doesn’t have authority to call an audible - though I did previously question if that’s his responsibility in that situation - By WOK September 21, 2026 at 12:51:28 PM
    - I agree, later in the season / career, maybe, but considering his overall inexperience he made the right play* - By CBusBlue September 21, 2026 at 12:35:44 PM
  - It was noted here that there were two seconds from alignment to snap...there was not an opportunity to scan the field to audible* - By ajs September 21, 2026 at 11:34:28 AM
    - good point* - By CBusBlue September 21, 2026 at 12:36:27 PM
    - BU was under center on that play, which narroed his view of the formation. Not even sure he saw JJ out there. If not, that was a problem, given that the guy - By hurryup September 21, 2026 at 11:49:46 AM
      - agree...the question of should he have been able to audible or not is different... - By ajs September 21, 2026 at 12:01:38 PM
        
        To be clear, when QBs have this authority it is NOT an audible. That is a different thing - By ny1995 September 21, 2026 at 12:09:16 PM

- Terrible football take to think he could have checked into that on that play* - By Rags September 21, 2026 at 11:25:25 AM
- Beyond dumb. It was a zone read and he made the right read.* - By gbmcq September 21, 2026 at 11:02:31 AM
