what a great idea!!!!

almost as good as putting Fletcher Cox on offense on the most critical play of the 2011 season!!!! I say let's roll with it.

if you are thinking power running with a huge lead blocker on the goal line. not a bad idea with dak playing qb but i think i would pick a player that is a little more in shape than Nick James.

jump ball to Banks.

I think he would go get it better than any other receiver on our team. I'm still not sure why we never threw one to Gholar that year...

I would be in favor if it for one reason: So if he scored he could scream,

"I'm Nick James, *****!" And then stomp on their end zone and scream, "17 yo' end zone, Bama! 17 yo' end zone!"

I say we put Broomfield on Alshon Jeffrey and bring Nickoe over late.

I'd be interested to see Robinson

lined up under center for sneaks like LSU did with Ware. Then again, I think Ware was a QB in high school so he at least had experience taking snaps. And we do have Dak for short yardage.

Lewis lacks the driving power for it to work though

It'd work better with someone who can drive piles if they can handle the snap reliably.

Why is tubby not getting the ball more? He was predicted and on his way to be one of our biggest play makers.

My guess

Why is tubby not getting the ball more? He was predicted and on his way to be one of our biggest play makers.

Is because Bumphis is playing so well? He's definitely our top slot WR, and we use TE's and FB's a good bit, so there's not much playing time for a second slot WR.

Simply execute our Offense.

Utah is the only team I've seen that made Nick Saban's scheme simply not work. We run nearly the same Offense. One way they did it was take the LB's out of the game. If they bring pressure we have to go to the TE's. If they take away the TE's we have to go to the slot receivers. And if we can get the passing game working we have to be able to run enough to keep them honest.

We have to have perfect execution and we can win.

since Clausell is so anxious to get each play started - maybe a tackle eligible ?
