The H-Back position...

I was watching the no-huddle higlights of Canada's offenses. One of the strengths is that it relies on using a lot of different players to keep people guessing what is coming.
Looking at our H-Back depth, it's ridiculous. You have Moreau, Moore, Mouton, Ducre, Pettigrew, Washington, Roddy(who seems to be next man up after Moore and Mouton, who would have known). I think we see most of them take used in that position.
Not to mention, D. Williams is someone who should get a lot of handoffs from that spot, as well as maybe some surprises like Drake Davis, Chark, or Dillon lining up there to take a handoff or spook the defense.
It's finally setting in how much talent we have to offer Canada. It should be a fun season.

This is a lot of the reason I'm guardedly optimistic in spite of the thin OL rotation.
The H-back spot is loaded.

I watched pretty much all of those videos offered up by a poster (great job by the way). even tho many of his plays were diagnosed and stopped by the respective D, he confused the hell out of every defense at times. confused me too. his H backs even ran jet sweeps at times. it was crazy; it was like, "who's gonna get the rock now?".
methinks we have one year to confuse the SEC D-coordinators. i'll bet Saban hires some coach that coached against Canada as a consultant tho and will have 2 weeks to prepare for us.
the only "flaw" I saw was how often his offense tried to reach the corners; the SEC speed is gonna make that hard to do. Etling is still gonna have to pass that ball and our WR's are still gonna have to get open.

Ducre is going to be a positive surprise. Very good athlete & fast, even for his size.

You still need an dominant offensive line running the spread. There's still a lot of power runs that need to be run out of those sets to set everything else up.
The reason Ohio State beat Alabama in 2014 is because of the inside zone and a QB that could take the top off the defense.
If you can go inside, outside and over the top out of the same formation and motion action, it's nearly unstoppable.
But you need the offensive line that's able to run a power blocking scheme, a finesse outside zone read, and be solid in pass pro to throw the ball down the field.
LSU needs help before they can maximize their full potential of stockpiled skill level players.
