I thought about this as well. You can run either way, throw a flair out of the backfield either way, or have either as extra blockers. Can't hurt...

I know,we need to focused on the running game anyways cause thats what I think is gonna win us ball games+good defensive play of course

I think we need to keep Cooper in as FB to block, especially with UF loading 8-9 in the box. IF we can break the first wave of defenders, we could take one to the house.

I agree with the dual rb's... Maybe a backfield w/o a FB rotating Creer, Foster, Jones, Crompton and Hardesty... every play... they won't know where to focus

Good point, Cooper could make an impact, but an AF MH combo would be fun to watch.

I don't think we should take Cooper out completely. But what if we ran a Shotgun with Foster on the left of Crompton and Hardesty on the right of Crompton with Jones and Taylor wide on each side and Briscoe in the slot or Warren at TE/slot. Many different looks out of that formation.

I don't think Foster or Hardesty should play a FB role like in I-form, just a formation like I mentioned above to mix it up for the defense.

no I didnt mean line one of them up at FB,remember when Auburn went undefeated a few years ago and ran the dual RB package,line them up that way with both in the backfield.

They had Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, and a dominating O-line.

You do know that Ronnie Brown played a FB role that year, right? I remember him putting his hand down quite a few times that year.

I don't think it will happen.

For one, each guy will need his rest, we can't have both taking the same snaps. Two, in order for us to be able to run, we need K Cooper at FB. He has been punishing in that role thus far. I don't see either of them being a good lead blocker.

Jones will line up at QB and berry will be the running back.

Im pretty Foster would do a pretty good job of it he even has the build of an FB.

He has the body type, but this isn't a game where we'll try personnel in positions for the first time.

I don't think we can beat florida with gimmicks and trickery. We have never been very good at that stuff anyway, its just not our MO. I think our best chance to win is running right at them between the tackles, make them stop us, and then throw in some play action pass.
