Not lighter, but less PT. We are too predictable with a fb in the game. We need to immulate Bama's "O" IMO. They have a power running game, but without a fb. Put an extra TE in the game or another receiver and give your qb more options in the passing game. Nothing wrong with having Copeland in there on short yardage situations, but it shouldn't be a part of our base offense. JMO.

Only reason Bama didn't use a fullback this year is because he got injured and was out for the year (Jalston Fowler). I love our use of the fullback.

Yet he had one of the longest receptions on the season.

Teach Copeland how to catch in the offseason. just five yard dumpoffs would be good enough.

Their fb
(Fowler) was injured and out early in the year and I think he was their #3 leading rusher at that point.
