How To Attack Tech With No RB
Not sure how Isaiah Crowell can tote the rock 10-20 times on a bum ankle. Is he tough enough to do that? And how effective can he be? Plus, would Isaiah going against Tech knock him out of the title game next week? I would imagine that we won't see much of Crowell in this one.
So, that makes Carlton Thomas the go-to guy, right? He's back from another 1-game suspension, but he's healthy and ready to go. Got to figure that he's the guy tomorrow at Grant Field. Carlton had it going against Auburn. He's the best option. Bobo can plan to give him 15 carries...he's carried it 15 times twice already this season.
Brandon Harton and Ken Malcome had fumble issues against Kentucky. Don't expect to see them early. Can't have the ball laying on the ground, as the game is starting to play out. Get a lead and maybe Harton gets some carries.
If I were Coach Bobo, I'd be planning to spread the field and run Carlton Thomas early in the game. But he's not a 25 carry guy. So, the "plan within the plan" would be to throw it around. Let Murray throw a lot of high percentage stuff. Hit Orson underneath. Utilize Figgins in the flat. Sit Bennett down in the zone. Check it down to Carlton some. Spread it out to throw it.
Also, get Murray out on the corner a little more. Let him take advantage of his legs. Bootleg him. QB Draw him.
To me, that's a plan that makes sense...until Crowell is ready to go again.

Hey! That sounds great! Why not?! Come to think of it, why don't we do that stuff all the time????
