"If we had to play today it would probably be situational football," Horton said. "There's one guy that's probably a better pass protector. There's one guy who is probably a better runner. There's one guy who might be a better pass receiver out of the backfield. It would be very situational in the sense that whatever the down and the distance and the situation dictates.”



I hate when teams do this. Why tip the other team off by the personnel you have on the field

Tipping teams based on personnel is the Gus Malzahn special.

Guys Gus is a moron and we don't have any complete backs much less a stable of them. Remember, this is the guy that let RB depth derail our title hopes last year. The most dime a dozen position in the game at what some honks consider "RBU" and we run out of options. Oops.

Insert 9 pages of irrational arguing with this completely factual statement from @rice here.

I guess I’m going to be on this island by myself, but I have no use for “speed backs”. We use WRs for sweeps a lot of the time anyways. McCaleb had a good year in 2010 and we’ve felt some need to always recruit one. I don’t get it

I'm on that island with you. #Youarenotalone

I am too because he doesn’t use the “speed” back like every other team in football. True 3rd down pass threat guy or change of pace/draw type back.

We just do jet sweep swing pass out of formations that we are only in when we run said jet sweeps and swing passes

Looks like Noah Iggy is actually being allowed to be a two sport athlete. Guessing Schwartz definitely will be running track too
