# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver He doesn't shy away when put in a pressured situation, he just doesn't have the consistency to always pull it out for you in an end of game situation. He gets confidence when he does well on the offensive end, and seems to fade on poor shooting nights rather than if the game picks up. It's him vs. his mind in that regard.

yep, that was the origin of the inverted veer at the DI level. I refer to Chris Brown's article on the topic in my piece, although I don't focus on it outside of how it is used to disguise other plays.
Here is the Chris Brown article as reading prep: http://smartfootball.com/defending-spread/tcus-inverted-veer-option
Straight from the horse's mouth.
I'm guessing we will see a lot of variations of the zone read as well. For whatever reason this whole discussion reminded of of TCU and Dalton beating Clemson on 2009. I just remembered all of my Clemson friends lamenting over Dalton running for almost 100 on them. After digging back into the game Clemson's OC at the time actually cited Dalton's running success to a variation of the read option that TCU unveiled for that specific game. I actually found a decent article on it along with a video of Dalton making Clemson's DE's look silly...

# | Excellent SBNation article on Fuente and his anticipated impact on VT's offense You're the most stupid movie ever made and Rudy is the best ever.
Yep. It was so obvious.
I'm hoping to see McMillian as #1 and Shai #2. McClease comes in every now and then since it sounds like he is a threat catching the ball.
Attrition and turnover is the norm, not the exception, in college basketball.
...especially when the program is in major overhaul and recovery. Look at Duke and UNC: two of the top most consistent teams in the country. They have their fair share of attrition as well.
Not our problem anymore

It stinks that the light didn't always stay on, because when it was ON, boy did it SHINE!
AMEN!
Since this announcement I have been wondering if he's NOT one of those athletes that steps up when under pressure, but instead one who shies away/folds. It's definitely unfortunate given all the talk about how Jalen's athletic potential was through the roof. I hope he finds somewhere else that may not put as much pressure on him and allow him to succeed and reach his potential.
Has it been said anywhere what number he has been wearing at practice? I haven't been able to spot him in any snaps (SnapChat snaps of football snaps) yet.

# | To beat a dead horse: MSU thinks that a constant running back rotation isn't good Exactly. Ideally, Fuente/Cornelson has some sort of play call for every back that's catered to their skillset. I trust the new folks far more with our running back rotation than I did Loeffler and Little Beams.

Biggest gripe was not how many we used but how we have used them. TOO many times we saw rb's swapped in and out and could call the exact play.
Trey Edmunds comes in on 3rd and short... hmm prepare for a rb draw up the middle.
JC comes in prepare for a zone read.
Rosters will be updated after the conclusion of spring practice (i.e. sometime after the spring game).
And just what does History have to do with football??
Historically, Fuente breaks up his carries between several runners so you might be disappointed.
I thought it was already announced he was transferring from Ocean Lakes to Bishop Sullivan (where Chris Scott is coaching now)?
cds7c has it on the nose here. Hill has been fully healthy since late January, early February and has really refined his game. Other than another freak injury happening, Hill is absolutely going to be a 30 minute per game guy.
He is the read man. If he crashes hard on the zone, the QB keeps and runs outside. If he stays outside, the QB gives the ball.
In my big column on this topic (second in my series), Andy Dalton was fast enough to run away from JJ Watt using this scheme. I like the odds for a guy like Evans, Motley, or Lawson to have success.
Yep. I saw him about a week ago.
I know the one back carries 35 times a game is gone
Derrick Henry would like a word with you.
But in general, yes, you don't see much of that any more. Doesn't mean one guy can't carry the ball ~20 times a game though with a couple more getting more like ~5 per game.
C.J. is definitely still in Blacksburg.

He most likely doesn't have a number since he is trying out currently, but there hasn't been any talk of his number regardless
