    Or run it with Williams at fullback and Guice and Fournette at tailback. Who the hell is stopping that?

    At least it would guarantee to get the defensive team to burn a time-out.

    I can't imagine anyone being able to stop that. Imagine Georgia Tech's coach with this O line Harris and this backfield. Scary

    Defensive coaches figured out how to stop the wishbone years ago. That's why nobody uses it anymore.

    Everything comes back when people forget about it. Why do you think the fucking veer works now? I'm just saying one game break it out for a few plays it would completely fuck up defenses because no one has defended it in years.

    Worked for G Tech in the last couple of years because they were the only ones using it and coaches had to prepare for it that week of their game with the Yellow Jackets. It's not working so well this year. The service academies use it because they don't have the athletes at skill positions to otherwise compete with the big boys.

    Oklahoma, Texas and Alabama used the wishbone pretty effectively but they had superior talent and would have been great teams with any offense. The Okies use to tally 600 or 700 yards rushing in running up 77-0 scores over cupcakes but their games with nearly equal opponents were a lot closer. It was a good offense for controlling the clock when a team was ahead but was a terrible offense when they were behind and had to play catchup.

    I'm not saying switch the offense, I'm saying it would fuck these young kids up who have never seen it if it was broken out for a few plays here and there.

    That might work. I would really hate to see LSU run it exclusively. We would forget what a forward pass is if we haven't already
