Penn States shortest 4th down against Michigan last year was 4th and 6. No Jumbo set.

“But in general, we’re always aware of how we signal (and if) are we disguising it. What happens is, you get after games, and you feel like you called something very unpredictable call in a certain situation, and they’re in the perfect defense for it. And you’re like, ‘What would ever make you play cover 2 on 4th and 1, and we’re in the heavy personnel group?’ But they’re in it, and you got a shot called there.
Was this the unpredictable call Franklin was referencing?
