Horns are a great base alignment where you can run a ton a different types of actions. This is great to disguise what you are getting into out of a timeout when playing against a well coached team.
Ben McCollum may never have the most talent in the Big 10, but he will have a team that nobody every wants to prepare for

He is a WIZARD with the clipboard and gets his team so many open shots

This is such good play execution by Vanderbilt

By pulling the first man over the top of the Horns setup, it eliminates the help
This allows the rip action to be WIDE OPEN
Big time

Iowa has so many options out of this Horns/Chin series

Could watch them develop all day
This is why they are playing their best offense at the end of the year - It keeps evolving
McCollum is a mastermind

Flare screens are a great way to get an open look with the art of deception
The assumption is that after the twirl action (first tight curl), a pin down is next - instead he sets a flare
