[QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 111064"]
I am not sure why we didn't use Kobena and Graham more in the O. Graham seemed to be becoming a nice part of the O, and then disappeared. Why did we not call more screens to him or more end arounds? Same with Kobena who I believe had one special screen play against WV, only to never been seen from again.

I think these two are a prime example of the misuse of talent caused from our system. Marrone's system has a lot of formations with FBs or double TEs. I am sorry but you cannot convince me that a system that requires a lot of PT for Kose and Stevens is maximizing our O talent. Wouldn't it have been nice to see a lot more 3 WRs sets with Graham or Kobena in there? Wouldn't that have forced a defender over the slot WR instead of staying in the box to assist on running plays? Wouldn't it have been nice to throw the ball more to them on bubble screens, getting them the ball in space? And why it is that FBs and TEs seem to be becoming extinct everywhere else, but at SU we rely so heavily on them?
