Sounds like a little Fournette and a little Guice

A little Guice is always nice.

I like a 60-30-10 carry plan between 7/5/28 and if someone is having more success than the others during the game modify it and give them more carries

Guice has earned at least 15 touches per game, minimum.

White/Bush carry split for me.
15/15 with both being involved some in passing game.
Mix in a decent passing attack of 20-30 plays....
And you easily have a 450 yd offense.

Carries for #28 with both #7 and #5 available are wasted.

I agree. When you know what a player like Guice can do, you're doing yourself a disservice leaving him off the field.

Kinda like how Tubberville was pretty much forced to get Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown on the field at the same time. Ditto for Darren McFadden and Felix Jones at Arkansas.

LF7 and Guice next to Etling out of shotgun please. The switch plays, zone-read options, flare routes, wheel routes, screens, match them up against LBs. Bruh.

Imagine the options. I think we break this out for Bama though. Unless Ole Piss is beating us.

Linebackers start to respect the flare, so you hit them with the quick slant.

I would rather see LF7 used as a decoy at first. Everyone keys on him as his presence is huge on the field. Keep his carries down to around 10 for this first game against OM but get him 3-5 passes.

If O puts LF and Guice on the field at the same time there needs to be an even number of possible pass plays to offset the obvious stacked boxes that they will face.

Use LF in the passing game this week and limit his carries to 10ish for health reasons as well as taking some of the focus off of him by future opponents. He has been keyed on all of his college career and this is the chance to change that going forward.

We will need to lean on his rushing abilities soon enough but that won't be this weekend.

It's so hard not to get too excited, but my body is ready to see Guice and Fournette with Coach O at the helm with something to prove. I think this team is going to turn a lot of heads in the next few weeks.

Think about how hungry Fournette's gonna be.

Well if what we've seen from the last 2 games is any indicator, it appears as if they coaches will maximize the talent.

Having both available will be a nightmare for defenses. Keep them both fresh and hungry.

Our worst stretch last year was when Les used Fournette exclusively.
