By ignoring situational play-calling and increasing the game tempo, scripted plays also served to confuse the defense and induce early penalties. Executing these plays successfully could establish momentum and dictate the flow of the game. It also gave the coaching staff an opportunity to run test plays against the defense to gauge their reactions in game situations. Later in the game, an observed tendency in a certain situation by the opposing defense could be exploited."

You can only practice so many plays to perfection each week.

The bold is the most important reason and I really hope we are doing that.

We started the game with successful sweeps and it didn't appear that we played off that later. No cut back or no misdirection from those exact formations that had success.

Teams are not changing the way they play us throughout the game unless they are up by two scores. They will keep forcing Alex to beat them and no matter how many sweeps we run, they will still bank on us eventually going up the gut with no misdirection.
