As I was listening to the pregame show on the animal yesterday I heard several talking heads say that gundy chooses which backs play and when. Wilson doesn't overrule the who runs on this play call. So basicly the running back coach picks which back is playing.
What I find interesting is that it is very obvious who the best back we have is. What I also find interesting is that our best back gets 13 rushes in a game in which he should get 20-25 rushing touches. This seems so basic that it kinda defies logic as to why we dont have our best out there more.
I use the running back situation as an example but you can tranlate this to wide reciever also in that kelly doesnt get as many touches as he should. ( I know this is sams call but coaches instruct a player what he should be doing with the ball)
I don't know if anyone else sees what I see but as I watch the team play this year I am scared of what a really good team would do to us because we just don't look like NC caliber team. It just seems our coaches are not great scheme coaches in that adjustments do not have the effect as teams several years ago. It seems that in past years the other team would have 1st qtr success and then from the 2nd qtr on they would be shut down for the most part. Other teams anymore seems to have more success throughout the game more.
Our offense scheme isn't what it was since mangino left. Our defense isn't what it was since stoops left. We have pretty good coords. not great ones. and if you look back at when the great ones we had left we lose the really big games for the most part.
Just an observation that really has shown itself this year.
