Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 462120, member: 27"] We haven't talked much about Spruill. Losing him is a big issue. How long will he be benched? The first half only? That is my guess. Who replaces him? You would think it would be Dan Vaughn, which would be nice for him, as he was a starter last season and has had to swallow his pride and focus on special teams his senior season. He will surely replace Spruill when SU plays its base 4-3 defense. But I expect WVU to use 3 and 4 WR sets most of the game, which would mean we will play a ton of Okie. Our normal Okie alignment takes Davis off the field but leaves Spruill in. I think the staff might opt to leave Davis in when Spruill is on the bench (and not play Vaughn), which would seem a better alignment given all the playmakers and speed the Mountaineers have on offense. So the biggest beneficiary of playing time with Spruill out might well be Davis. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
