    Probably.

    Miles uses that weird formation in the I-form where the RB is closer to the line than any other team in the country. That negates our quicker back's abilities to read and cutback, but at the same time doesnt give the power backs a chance to make dumb decisions and they hit the holes.

    "The pistol". I'm not sure if we'll run that much this year or not. It worked great with Hester but we'll adapt to the guys we have.

    The combo of Keiland & Perrilloux on the option was going to be killer, but now we don't have a QB to run the option so I'm curious to see how the carries are split up & if there's a preference to down/distance by back.

    Last year we had Hester as our workhorse & then the carries were pretty random with the rest of the guys.

    I am not talking about the pistol. Our I formation has the FB and RB closer to the line of scrimmage than most teams.

    I would guess they did it to take advantage of Hester hitting the holes. If KW was our featured back I would bet he would be put further back.

    That list makes a lot of sense. Any list without Ciron Black is highly questionable.

    are the post spring coaches rankings different from pre Spring rankings?

    how is bobo ranked so high after only one year calling plays?

    surprised helms is ahead of johnson, but i guess theyre taking potential out of the equation.

    IMO, Helms is a better college player, but Johnson is a better pro prospect.
