quote:Definitely not. BUT, in a way, that will be used to our advantage. Thompson broke off two separate 19 yard runs against Clemson on zone-reads because the defense was in no way expecting him to run. Obviously coaches will catch on to that but every once in a while Dylan will keep it on a surprise and get some good yards.
But, and correct me if I'm wrong, Thompson isn't a threat with his legs like Shaw was.
20 yd run for a 1st down
19 yd run for 1st down
Also, Dylan will be way more inclined to stay in the pocket longer when facing pressure while Shaw would take off too early. Whether or not that will lead to errant throws from Thompson or not is a big question. He's given us both the good and the bad with that. In the Outback bowl vs Michigan in 2012 he threw the game winning TD w/ 11 seconds to go and took a massive hit.

Thompson definitely had his moments over the last couple years - both good and bad, but more good. Do you believe y'all will implement a FB more often this year? Seems like the offense departed from that in the past few years, since the graduation of DiMarco.
