Message: [QUOTE="SaltineWarrior, post: 1523008, member: 925"] I personally think the ability to run straight ahead and get those tough yards is a primary reason this team is being held back. Yes, football seems to be run out of the pistol with a read/option offense and plenty of passing. But I'll take a good tough fullback, a real blocking TE to compliment a solid OLine any day to at least pick up those tough yards. Just look at programs like Stanford and LSU. Hell WVU used a FB with the spread. It would also help preserve Dungey's football life. I believe he is one or two solid hits away from joining AJ Long. His abilities are great but he is running for his life. Running under center will allow SU to get those short-yardage situations too. The longer the ball spends in the backfield and the deeper the ball goes, the more likely the defense can make a TFL. Basic football. SU can recruit for a smash-mouth approach; I wish we'd see more of that incorporated into the offense. [/QUOTE]
