by far, we have no back over 200 lbs

3. Auburn's mobility at QB > Bo's mobility maybe even a better QB (Can't be certain because of the two above. Can't wait for slingblade)
this as well - Bo's injury situation made us 1-dimensional on the zone read because defenses knew he didn't want to run as much (to avoid injury)

besides having a superior offensive line. They also use more miss direction or counter play action. It doesn't fool too many defenses, but the slight hesitation by the back seven to see where the ball is going is enough to allow the offensive line and receivers to get to the next level.
It also gives the offensive lineman the upper hand, they can bait defensive lineman to go the direction of the fake, making it much easier to push those lineman out of their gaps.
When we use two backs and/or a back across the formation we have been more successful than when attempting to play it straight up and push the defense back.
Running the reverse veer, or triple option is very similar to running the wishbone, with more emphasis on the pass. In order to make it work there has to be some deception in order to slow the defense.
Bama's defensive strength is pursuit speed. The slight hesitation on miss direction or counter plays works best against teams that over pursue.
Not having Jeff Scott to run across the formation limited our ability to control the line of scrimmage. The fact we stopped doing it and did not use Jaylen Walton to do the same is beyond me and I believe the coaching staff will put it back to use during the bowl game when they self evaluate .
There's an old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Somehow they forgot why they were successful running the ball?
Running the ball successfully makes passing the ball that much easier.

I think this was as much of a factor as any. The whole offense is based off of the zone read and if you take out the core of your offense then you have issues. Last year we would show R-O a lot early then run many different variations and different actions based on that look. I think DK gets a decent amount of PT if not wins the starting job for the sole reason that we can bring this back as the core of our offense.
