You need to pick one to coach one game.

Who do you pick?

The one that actually has a winning record at USF

For ***** and giggles, I watched our first drive against UF the year we'd be assuming Holtz tried to make BJ a pocket passer. Yes, I know this is beating a dead horse @Bull Dozer. I skipped our first game because a) I assume we'd be conservative against Stony Brook and b) I didn't bother to look for it online. But here's our first drive breakdown.

1 dropped snap

3 handoffs to the HB where BJ faked like he was going to run, could be a read option, could be a designed HB run, I won't speculate

1 QB draw

5 definite options, 2 were pitches to the HB, 3 BJ held onto it and ran

1 QB sneak

1 HB toss

2 play action passes

3 designed passes

0 times he took off running with a breakdown in the play and he decided to run on his own

So in the second game of Holtz trying to make BJ a pocket passer, he ran the ball 5 designed times (with 2 others where it could have been an option) out of 17 plays on the first drive.

Edit: First and second drive against Stony Brook (I found it online)

1 pass TD on the first throw

2 HB handoffs

2 designed passes

1 play action and thrown away rather than running

1 scramble and throw that could have been competition 

Funny thing, the announcers were talking about how USF would love to not have a QB lead the team in rushing this year and it shows BJ's maturity as a QB that he didn't take off and run when coverage broke down.

 

Keep going with that project put this to be one way or another

I think BJ running the ball 30%+ does exactly that. Especially since they were all designed plays and none of them were him just taking off on his own. Even if he didn't run again the rest of the game, that's 5 carries (with the potential to be as high as 10) on the opening drive. That's an awful lot of running for a non-running QB gameplan. I guess it's also entirely possible Holtz said he wanted BJ to be a drop back passer, but not until the third game of the season.

True, he actually ran 5+ times more per game the next two years. This was the least he ran in his career.
