Aliens05 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 So I've thought about this before, but watching the Louisville Ole miss game tonight kind of brought it up again. Ole miss ran some plays out of a T formation with two running backs, one to each side of the QB out of shotgun. Do we not have this in our playbook? If we switch between Ervin and Stepp (even throw yant or Rahmir in there instead if you want) so much and they're all good enough to get playing time, why don't we run more out of a 2 back system? Our running plays are so slow and predictable. Wouldn't a two back system make it at least a little trickier to defend if we're gonna run predictable running plays? They at least then have to account for one extra person who may get the ball. We could even throw some option rollout into the mix similar to what we ran against Fordham with toure. Especially since both backs are supposedly good at catching the ball, we could run not only running plays but passing plays out of this too. I think it would be a harder offense to defend, and we have the guys to do it. So why don't we run it? Anyone know? Is this not in frosts playbook at all, does he not trust our guys to do it? 2 Quote Link to comment

I like it! I'd heard that we were going to run two back sets and I've yet to see it. Step or Yanti with one of the others. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 They had Ervin and Toure back there at the same time against Fordham 3 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska55fan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 We ran 2 back sets for at least 4 plays that I saw. At least 1 was off of a shift. Quote Link to comment
