clyde40 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 NU has way too many weapons to regularly feature the fullback. Won't happen. I agree here completely. If you are on the goalline and you hand to anyone but Cross I'd disagree with the decision. More of the Maryland I double-iso - Janovich and Zimmerer leading the way for Cross. AAAhhhh the maryland I. Now that takes me back.. Literally. It's what we ran 90% of the time in high school. It's impossible to run the Maryland I in 8-man but we did run the I 90% of the time.

ColoradoHusk Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 That was a cool video though. I loved the Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans Jeff Mackovicka was wearing. Those were great!!! Ahh the 90s. I always preferred Z-Cavs over Hilfiger. I wore Girbaud's for much of my college days. I just remember how popular the Hilfiger ones were. Quote Link to comment
blinky Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Can this be the official "fullback run-moar option-play defense like the peters-coach like Tom" thread? Get them all out of the way in one shot Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 ahhh the "i miss the 90's" fullback thread. only 2 games into the season though? i figured we'd go at least into mid B1G play... It wasn't too long into Solich's tenure as HC that I was listening to his post-game interview and was asked about the numerous carries the FBs had that day. His response was something to the effect of "you have to run the FB to set up the option." I still can not figure out how he was around the program for 20+ years and had not learned something as basic to Dr. Tom's strategy as run the option for three quarters until they totally forget about the FB then spring him up the middle. I knew at that point that he wouldn't make it as an OC. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The fullback plays are still in our playbook, we just haven't used them yet. IIRC in 2011, we didn't see a fullback run until we played Washington - we kept it under wraps a little bit until that game as a wrinkle. But yeah, we've got so many weapons that I doubt we'll see it much, but it'd still be a nice wrinkle here or there imho. Quote Link to comment
