I agree that if you’re going to put Case in, you need to give him a chance at getting some throwing reps in, but that's Mack being Mack. He goes for classy over substance sometimes and while another TD wouldn't have a made a difference in the manner in which we won the game, it would have given Case some meaningful reps against another quality opponent on D. That for some reason is always lost on Mack, only for him to say, "I wish we could have got Case in to the game sooner". My response has always been "why didn't you then"??? You never know when your going to need your back-up and while Ash is back on a roll, it never hurts to give your back-up some opportunities. We certainly have learned that lesson before haven't we?

i don't know about bringing back the bone; that seems a little extreme. but i have posted on this a couple of times that i would like to see them run a few plays out of the old pro set, split back formation which mackovic ran a lot where both backs play an equal roll. i'm not saying run 30 plays out of it; but 5 or 6 a game would be useful.

chicks just get emotional.

That is what I'm saying. I am not suggesting that we should scrap everything for the Wishbone, but it makes sense to me that some plays from it would sure be a good thing considering our three great backs! The split formation Mackovic ran would also be something to consider. I just think we need to better utilize our great backs and that was one consideration I thought would be something that would work.

You know Ironhead, some of you on here are absolutely unreasonable when someone challenges current plays. I am not suggesting that Mack quit whatever he calls his offensive schemes and put the Wishbone in in place of it.

You people make me sick with your holier than thou comments. I was merely suggesting that some form of the Wishbone might be something to think about since we have 3 of the best backs in college football.

My other comment was since Mack did allow 3 points to be put on the board towards our score; why could he have not allowed Case the opportunity to make a touchdown. That seems reasonable to me. If you are going to allow points, why not go for the touchdown?

agree 100%

I assume he was just kidding. This post actually does make you look emotional.

What do you mean "our coaching staff seems to not know how to use all 3 at one time"? The coaches did a phenomenal job of getting all three touches on Saturday. Maybe you missed the game because it was on the LHN, but if you look at the stat line, each guy in our three-headed RB attack got 10+ carries on Saturday.

J Gray - 14 carries for 74 yards
J Bergeron - 12 carries for 86 yards
M Brown - 10 carries for 31 yards

That's a great distribution. Running the wishbone effectively is not feasible due to the amount of practice needed to perfect the timing and reads. The offense is doing well right now so there's no need to go and blow the whole thing up to run an offense from 40 years ago.

Distinction without a difference.
