I’ve always been confused when announcers talk about the first 10-15 plays being “scripted”.

So suppose the OC has scripted 3 runs to begin the game. And on the first play the QB fumbles the snap, kicks the ball and finally recovers it after a 15 yard loss. It’s now 2d and 25. Does he stick with a running play on 2d down virtually assuring a 3 and out to start the game. Or does he abandon the script? In which case the plays were only scripted to the extent that everything went well.
