Sporting quiz!

It's early in the 3rd quarter, game tied.

3rd & 3 from your 52 yard line.

What play do you call?

I recognise the words.

They even appear to be reasonably grammatically conjoined.

But it doesn't look like English to me. Try removing the helmet and pads.

... how's your running game been going so far? If you have a running back that can regularly make 3-4 yards on every carry (and more on a good one) and he's got 50 or more yards this game (or you've got more than 80 yards rushing across the team) then either a simple run, or perhaps some sort of play action fake ...

... if your running game is crap, then I'd probably pass.

I really, really hate trick questions like this. Reminds me of a physics test in high school that involved US football: no one got the answer to the question because we all forgot to allow 5 yards for the quarterback to drop back to pass.
