Hey Coach Satt, Can We Use the Fullback a Little More Than Only 2 Carries Out of 244 Rushing Attempts?

sadly, no
we need them to help the OL block in both the run and the pass game

By running the FB trap on the first play of the spring game, he tricked our opponents into constantly watching for it and over-planning how to stop it.
Way to many passing plays and no NU fullback highlights, this video is invalid.
I like the use of the fullback in the run game. A lot of defenses don't know how to account for that anymore. But the fullback can block for the most part, he doesn't need to run the ball.
it's like having a clutch in your vehicle, kids wont even steal it nowdays
So true and hilarious at the same time!!! Kind of sad too.it's like having a clutch in your vehicle, kids wont even steal it nowdays
It was not about the video, dude. It was about using the FULLBACK to max potential. We have 5 on the roster, 2 of which ran the ball very well in high school. The also probably didn't fumble a lot.
But for all the pre-season BS about using the fullback, and only 2 carries? Just saying.
They’ve used the full back quite a bit, just not for rushing the ball. Lots of blocking for the running back or the quarterback. I know it’s not what you want, but they have use the full back a fair amount.
OK, but only 2 carries out of 244 rushing attempts? I'm a Badger Grad and a Husker Dad X 2. Nebraska in the day, and Wisconsin up until last year, used the fullback effectively.
3 to 5 yards a pop on a run. And then a inside FB trap and you bust them for 15 yards when they break through. And no FB fumbles!!!!
And then a fullback pass screen. Man, those plays were things of beauty.
Lol @ our slow unskilled guards attempting to trap block
And lofl @ our nepotism OL coach attempting to teach it
Ok. Against Northwestern's speedy lineman or their All-American linebackers?
No Fullback play will work?
Just want to go to a bowl game this year, man. See you there if we use the Fullback.
I don't think the OP is suggesting 15 carries a game but just to amplify the threat. It would be another thing for our opponents to deal with.
Context? Or are you bothered by a common figure of speech?
I Just Love the idea of a Hard Hitting Fullback and what it could bring to this offense! An offense that is struggling and is attempting to get good at Option Football again, why not make this position a feature and blast some dudes...
I truly do think that what's old can be new again when combined with some new techniques and watching old highlights from Cory & Joel make me want this even more...

I wish I gave a shit about the FB running the ball. Unfortunately I really don't. Just win baby ..(my new mantra for this current team).
Holla
Top 20 rushing offense, so I guess yeah - reasonably effective!
Please please 🙏. If we got the ball 1st and goal from 3 yards or less we at least attempt a FB run. If we punch that in the stadium would explode. I believe we have had a couple chances this season.
