Same people who *****ed when Duke got hurt against FSU on 4 and 1, why didn't we use the fullback.
I think we should ditch the fullback spot altogether and continue to spread teams out.
If we really need to pound it, we can bring in someone like Standish or Herndon to line up as an H-back.
I hate having players on the field with no 'threat' level in the passing game. They can pretty much just be ignored by the defense, and putting one in the game quite often is a dead tell that you're running the ball. Besides, I've only noticed our FBs this year when they've fumbled, wiffed on a block, or gotten in the RB's way on the way to the endzone.
That single play call is a microcosm of and EPITOMIZES the stupidity of this staff. 3rd and short what do we do? 'Outsmart' our sub-level opponent by giving the ball to the worst player in the history of the program, not our BEST PLAYER.
Joke
