It would be fun to see 3 of lsu's running backs in the backfield at one time. It might be a nice wrinkle 3-4 times a game.
AU defense would probably just quit if they saw, fournette, wiilams and guice lined up all at once. That Is a whole lotta pain pointed at the defense.

Then the receivers would not come to LSU nor would LSU be effective like 99 percent of the teams that ran wishbone in the 70s. Duh!


I'm not sure many teams would know how to defend it without a long time to prepare for it. It would be hard to install an effective defense for it if LSU only ran it occasionally.

You don't just run a "some wishbone". If you run wishbone, you have to run it pretty much all the time. That being said it was figured out back in the day and became obsolete. It's honestly not hard to prepare for. With the advancements that multiple angle films bring making reads has become much easier to teach.
