Does not having Copeland make us less predictable?

I was having a discussion with a friend during the Auburn game about LSU being very predictable based on their personnel on the field. It seemed to me that our best runs were coming out of a 3-wide set with a single back and when we went with a tight formation with a fullback Auburn just crowded the box with 8 and caught us behind the line.

So without Copeland, do we see more 3-wide?

no, it means neighbors will get the FB dives from now on.

That's what I'm afraid of.

maybe neighbors would have picked up the first down on 3rd and 4 on Jan 9 when they called the FB dive for copeland, who got stuffed for negative yardage.

worst playcall i've ever seen.

We can't get less predictable with the current O-coordinator.

Actually we might be less preictable. What are the percentages of run to pas when he's in the game???

Hadn't thought about this, could be true!

But what if we're just as predictable without a capable fullback!

OR

Mabye Les mind fricks everyone and Shep is tailback and Ware is fullback in a split backfield.

It's not like we don't have a backup fullback.
