Against USC we did use a lot less of the pistol. Still more than I would like personally but we frequently saw the runningback line up in the shotgun and run out of the shotgun. So personally I would like to see more of that. What I did enjoy about the pre-snap movement was that it would cross the field but the player often stopped and switched directions. It felt like the stopped and ran back the way the came more than a full motion across the field. I would like to see it mixed up a bit more just to make the opposing defense uncomfortable.

Shough hasn't performed well down the stretch this year. The pressures are really getting to him and he is making poor decisions. Instead of extending plays he is ticking the ball and trying to run.... Usually for no where near enough yards. Anthony Brown will probably end up seeing some significant snaps in the Fiesta Bowl and there is the possibility that he returns next year. I recall reading somewhere that grad transfers will have an extra year of eligibility but they can't change schools... Not sure of that is still true. Then there are the youngins of Butterfield, Millen (though I wouldn't be surprised if he changes positions), Ashford and incoming freshman Thompson. The big question is... Does Shough hold onto his starting job or not?
