Arizona Daily Star: Coaches Making New Snap Decision - Running Back is the New Quarterback

Here is the link.

 

“Most offensive coaches are happy to put their running back in a one-on-one situation against a tackler.  "It's something that, if you don't have a quarterback that you want to  run through the middle or is not a great runner, it kinda creates numbers inside as far as spreading the defense out," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said.  The Golden Bears scored a touchdown against the UA two weeks ago by snapping the ball to running back Justin Forsett, who ran around the right end. New Mexico snapped the ball to running back Rodney Ferguson in Week 3 during its first drive of the game, a drive that milked 7:14 of the clock and resulted in a touchdown.”
