the only thing i'm worried about is USF going back to its one dimensional offense like they were with Hall here.  I hope they don't and continue to mix it up with passes and runs, considering Grothe can throw the ball.  but who knows with Rod Smith calling the shots for the offense.

last year, with hall, we ran the ball a lot.  this year, with grothe, we passed the ball a lot.  with blackwell we passed the ball a lot.  i think with both a great QB and RB we'd have a more balanced offense.  getting a good FB will give us more options as well.  as long as we have a solid OL I think our offense will be very good with Ford and the other RBs.  remember, plancher looked very good those first few minutes this year, heh.

USF ran the ball fairly regularly with Dyral McMillian and Marquell Blackwell.

With what ive seen from Ford i wouldnt be surprised to see Grothe under center at times too.

If Ford is here next season, then you can rest assured that we will be a dual threat on offense.

yeah, we have so much talent on offense, as long as we have a good OL we'll be very good.  even without Ford we have good RBs, with him could approach WVU's level of offensive production.
