RB usage vs Alabama


Jan 3, 2019, 9:27 AM

So the question is with our stable of backs, do you continue to rotate them as we've done this season (to preserve health for the duration of the season I assume) or do you finally unleash the beast and let ETN have the lion's share of the touches? Our other backs are obviously also very good, but he's the true home run threat that the Bama defense will have to respect on every play and keep the safeties honest. I say ETN gets the carries through the first half, maybe some rest in third quarter if possible so he's fresh for the 4th quarter. Wild card here is the pass protection. If he can't pick up the rushers, then either we have to gameplan for quick outs or give another back the chance to pick up the blitz.

I'd run him early to see if he could break one while he and the O-line are fresh. If no-go, I'd run Feaster and Choice until half-time, keeping Etienne and Lyn-J fresh. From the start of the 2nd half I'd give 'Bama a steady dose of Etienne and Lyn-J, except for short yardage, where I'd use Choice and Wilkins.

I think we’ll rotate the top 3 in in the first half to try to preserve ETN’s legs then give him most of the 2H carries

Agree.... the fresh legs in second half will be huge. Also, no need for ETN to take all the massive hits that Bama unleashes in the first half. They definitely don't look or hit the same after halftime.

I think we keep it the way it's been all year. If it ain't broke.... That being said, Choice could get some good work in as he's more experienced and can do some pounding between the tackles. ETN will still be the man.
