the shite that bothers me is...we have incredible athletes...which makes people commit on normal formations cuz they are worried about Lf and our running game..---to do more mixups and fakes with our talent just makes us stronger--they never know what to defend. with our ol and rbs and wrs?. but we still just run the ball up the middle because we think we can...well maybe we can... but why not make them wonder so they cant commit? i dont see why having a strength makes u just mozy along expecting to win. Use it to its maximum...we arnt stealing from a baby. its like we are hoping it works eventually....instead of kill and destroy the opponent.... pfshh.

i mean how many posts have u seen saying what if we faked this and then did that? ..im not saying lets do trick plays every time or be auburn or oregon, but to accent..... our talent advantage. when we have it. dont just ride it like a mule..
I could have a head of steele and keep moving forward while i get punched in the head and probably still win. but i bet if i dodged a few instead... id do even better..

We did it against Wisconsin but the pitch wasn't executed and we lost 15 yards. This was mentioned earlier in the thread btw..


Yeah, I should have said -- other than that botched play. 11-yard loss, BTW. Anyway, the point is that Hilliard and Williams have both been successful running from the FB spot, so defenses have to honor that, and Fournette has the speed to get the edge, so it could be a real nice play. And mixing things up on a semi-consistent basis will result in more running lanes up the middle.
