The 31 and 32 counter-trap was a staple of the old high school offense. The ball carrier was almost always the fullback out of the I, though.
I think plays like this are why some seem to think Furman is an "option team." It looks like an option, but it isn't.
If Furman's version is anything like the one I learned, you are hoping for just enough action in the backfield to get the linebacker to make a false step on what he thinks he sees. You can see that on the Watkins run, the MLB starts attacking the QB option which doesn't exist. By the time he realizes he made the wrong read, Watkins is past him.
