I forgot about Marx's catch! I don't remember what the actual spider 2 y banana play entailed, and I think a lot of us were just calling any FB catch one, but whatever that play was I liked it and want to see more of it!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a spider-2-y-banana play, but a fullback screen.  We used the screen a fair number of times last night to good effect; the Washington linebackers were overeager to try to get to our backfield and as a result, we were able to capitalize.  On the other hand, the one time that UW tried a screen on us, great recognition by the defensive linemen and a linebacker (Kalambayi?) was able to bat the ball down.

Speaking of screens, did anyone see Clemson-Miami game?  Oh, man, did Clemson nail Miami with a screen.

I believe that the Marx screen started as a fake quick throw to Love to the right.  Excellent use of Love as a decoy.
