Your example, Mack Brown, is actually the smallest of the bunch. He brought in power backs, he just didn't use them.
1/2 of those guys never really saw the field in the first place (Mon transferred out after his ACL tear saw him buried on the depth chart, Bo transferred out after redshirting), while Moody admitted himself that he had trouble picking up the system and wasn't that great of a runner out of shotgun. Gillislee looked promising but even with a brand new coaching staff and new system was still stuck behind Demps and Rainey.
