Mardye McDole had had a great season for us as a SO in Tyler's last season. Tyler was replaced by Bellard who ran the wishbone and McDole didn't get the ball much his JR season. So for his SR season, Bellard designed the Wingbone offense with McDole as the wingback. Bellard said, "We may not can throw it to him, but we can damn sure hand it off to him."
In their slight defense I do think they had moved Singleton to RB when Scott was suspended. As for the Prewitt pick, he was just in the right place at the right time. Sawyer is the one who made that play.
