I'm gonna start a thread weekly asking who everyone thinks is the one guy (Offense or Defense) that will be the most important player for the upcoming game. Give your answer and why...
Chris White
Part of the triple option is the HB dive play up the middle. While running around the ends and using the option pitch is effective and at times unstoppable, it becomes one-dimensional if the up the middle HB dive is consistently stuffed by the DT's or the Inside linebacker. The auburn game got out of control only after Tate started breaking it up the middle. If the linebacker and DT's can hold down the middle, it allows the safties to stay wider and hampers getting to the corner. IN this game, White must play big and be a sure tackler. If you have played football too, most would agree that the most psychologically demoralizing play is to get gashed right up the middle too. It just sucks the wind out of you.
