I think fact that debord moving us to more or a Ohio state power game will help with his style of running. Just my opinion. I also think that's why you see uga and ut offer more of the same backs

Those changes in the rushing game sound great to me but has there been any kind of official statement or report along those lines?

We're not switching to the wishbone but there's going to be more emphasis on power running IMO...best prepare. :thumbsup:

Many times in the past Butch has referenced Urban Meyer as an influence on him. Butch's philosophy is rooted in the old "west coast offense", albeit from the shotgun with zone read elements. The WCO is often thought of as pass first, but it is actually a balance of run and pass with a power-oriented run game... exactly what Urbs has been doing a long time.

I think Debord is just the guy to refine this part of the offense without changing too much else. RB's are going to LOVE playing in that and would be smart to hop on the train early.

I believe u will see added power game we have lacked for 2 years.way too much chatter about it. But no our philosophy is still mostly same we are a spread team. There will be enhancements. Thats the run game and deep ball rest assured of that

Agree.just look at how many runs we had over 20 or 30 yards all year. ...if I'm not mistaken you take the bowl game out and then you can count it on one hand

Reports have been vague for most part some on tos....Jones comments all season about short yardage and debord spent good bit of time studying urban power schemes...I just had previous post how many run plays were for over 20 to 30 yards all year.....very dismal. Even loom at last year. Safe to say changes have to be made

i don't adding 'power' to our running game is going to suddenly get us more 20-30 yards. there aren't that many 20-30 yard runs inside the tackle box even by power teams. power to me means being able to consistently run it forward and pick up first downs, not hit home runs.

With the capabilities of our running backs, you pound away at a defense enough and they tire and eventually miss an assignment...that's when you break a long one...in past years we'd let the opposing D off the hook with those jet sweeps...those are supposed to be changeups...we used them too frequently IMO.

i would agree with that. we need an offensive line more than we need a new coach for power running.
