IMHO I feel like Rolovich doesn’t need to run the ball at all (slight exaggeration but no real urgency to) unless/until the pass rush gets over aggressive. So the pass would set up the run. Then the run would be used to keep the pass rush honest (from the interior). The pressure really comes mostly from outside so keep one RB in to pass block, shovel, or flat route. Use Stovall and Victor (too bad no more TE/H) in those “bubble” passes replacing Byrd (needs to be in open field only) in a ball control package. 4 to 8 yards every play. Even the running plays would get 4 to 8 yards too I think. Better ball control than Air Force. But of course the “home run” ball will be opened up guarantee. Just the protection. Then sprinkle in Wildcat like Boise did. Unstoppable.

I think finding a running back that is a right fit for this system shouldn’t be that hard, you just have to know what you’re looking for. I’m sure got lots of backs a little too big (tweeners FB/HB) to get primary touches for traditional offenses. Who wouldn’t love a system where they can run vs 3 or 4 in the box.

Recently St Juste was so good that Rolovich hesitated installing his system to feature him. Iosefa could carry the ball 25 to 35 times a game and still get 5 yds per carry. Paul Harris was similar in size to Holly but followed blocks and set up runs really well (I still think Holly will figure things out). And Tuiasoa I think, would have done well in this system because he can break one on one tackles and could pass block.

A 4 star RB transferred here (Wright-Jackson) and a 4 star RB/SB accidentally became the perfect fit (Ilaoa) here as well. But the prototype is Alex Green. That’s what you should be looking for. The speed to size to physicality ratio is the “fit” necessary for RB. I love having the “change of pace” jump cutter (Reed is unreal) but maybe not as the primary as much. And we definitely need a FB/RB/H blocking specialist (Furuta, Mauia) but for special packages, not as much primary either. Can do for sure.

I thought the targeting call @Washington was justified.

Old film clip showing AF beating Colo.

Basic triple option play, EASY 25 yd TD run, in OT.

Warriors HAVE to defend this bread n butter play –

fake fullback dive, fake QB keep, pitch to tailback – easy TD

GO WARRIORS !!!

BEAT air force.

Need to make sure the next generation OL is on track. Wa’a was a real surprise, looked poised and polished. Mose has the “bulk”, just needs to muscle-up upper body during redshirt. And Hilborn has some nice agility to size proportion. Hope he can move like Manning eventually. Going still be solid OL in 2021. Keep the Process “flowing”. Awesome.

It’s crazy Hawaii has two targeting calls this season and both were not targeting and both on the road in the same region.

This years XMAS list should include a long armed big hands RB 6’2″ 4.5 speed who can block. LOL! H. Keliiliki might work better altho never seen him block. Got to face the facts that Reed, Holly are a little too small.

RB Reed should have taken one for the team blocking LB Weaver. Right shoulder into his gut almost head on to gain a second for our QB. However, just as last year, QB apparently hasnt improved his peripheral vision. Perhaps its not possible to improve on that. In any case, 11-2 is still possible. We will ;still watch UH games
