Wow! Lots of people here were interested in how effective Flowers might be after the departure of their great tailback. We've seen the answer. Defenses are daring him to hand the ball off or pass from the pocket. They are building the defense around not letting Flowers beat them with his feet -- and it's keeping very weak opponents in the game. The new running backs are just not explosive enough to force them out of that defense. Other better opponents have the talent to execute that D even better, and will, until Strong's hireling figure a way to counter it. And what if Flowers gets frustrated? I though Strong would get Flowers to working on his passing game, but perhaps what we've seen is all he's got?
Not only lost Marlon Mack, but just as importantly, lost Rodney Adams, WR, who was their #1 receiver. This year, Flowers is having trouble finding an open receiver on many downs, now that the D does not have to invest their best personnel on tracking Adams.
Will probably still out pull USF attendance even with evacuations.
