    I think it is in fact not reasonable to match Zo by committee. Zo has that it factor. The second you make a mistake he runs a long way. An awful lot like Duce McCalister. He's the reason they play eight in the box.

    I'm not arguing the fact that Zo was a great player for us and a model of consistency, but when I think of "it factor" and running a long way, Eli comes to mind first. Most of Zos carries were between 2-4 yds, these were often tough yds against a loaded box, but I stand by my previous statement that it isn't unreasonable to have similar production.

    I thought you were including everyone besides Elijah. "The committee" of running backs besides Elijah... are not a committee equivalent of Zo. Zo is at Green Bay for a reason. I'm not saying we cannot use them very successfully. It will require we break out a really solid passing game. The success of our rushing attack, for the year, will be predicated on how successfully we pass the ball.

    Elijah isn't part of "the committee". If Elijah could take the pill every running play, and not pay a penalty, no other back would see the field. If Zo and Elijah were still here together... we wouldn't be talking about a committee.

    The it factor is his knack for the big play. The committee won't have that. Clearly not part of the committee the Prophet.

    Eli was not included.

I just don't see it working out. The OL height alone will make her have to release the football between linemen. I do think she'd put some zip on the football. But how would she let the WR know she's throwing a rise ball or a drop ball? Is she even that mobile? She's always worked off a mound with a straight line motion. I'm struggling to see Hud's logic on this one. Is this a TitleIX thing? Will we have a separate locker room area for her? This is really radical. What is Hud thinking!?
    ---Hey we have all screwed up some names but that is funny!!!

    Interested on your opinions on this:

    With the injuries we've had at wide receiver, we currently have four experienced receivers: Scott, Fuselier, Riles and Robinson.

    We have great promise with the freshmen, but they've never played a snap.

    Does this mean, in your opinion, that the better passer should have an advantage because of the youth of our depth?

    Or doesn't it matter?

    Curious as to everyone's thoughts.

    The better passer will always have the advantage. Accuracy can hide a ton of deficiencies, it can also make WR corps look way better than they really are.

    I do recall Hud went with a more traditional quarterback, Mason in the early season. He saw that legs are as important as arm going with Blain the balance of the season.
    Hud's had both players their entire careers here yet is claiming undecided. If this is true he's looking for another to start.
    This is not true- Hud started Gautier from jump at Oklahoma State his first game here.

    Jay better passer by all means!! esp since it does make wr's better and opens up the running game considerably.

    I understand what you're asking, but I'm more concerned we cop out for a running QB because of the depth issues at WR. The answer to your question is that regardless of the depth and experience at WR, you always choose the better passer in a passing oriented offense. Personally, I'd use the depth we have at WR to attack Kentucky. From that point, I'd mix in the freshmen that show the greatest promise. I've seen coaches put in a player, he misses one pass, and he comes out. That too is simply bad coaching. You have to allow inexperienced players to get over the nerves and work up to the speed of the game. Jake's first pass as a Cajun was an INT. he settled down and blew all of us away... a skinny kid out of 1A Breaux Bridge. We need to take on the better teams with a dangerous passing threat. It's also the path to defeating everyone, not just most, in the SBC. WRs and QBs get sync'd up through repetition. They have to practically operate with one game brain. Good coaches can facilitate that. We need them to do that this year. Seek the cerebral... and add it to our strength, conditioning and flawless execution approach.
