Re: 2012 Recruiting Thread

Moody wasn't even really a power back, but they tried to utilize him in that role, and I don't think it fit his style at all. A good point Sportsbuck brings up, Demps and Rainey have been the backs in the system since like 08, and combine that with Tebow and Percy harvin, and your sample size for Florida and power backs all but disappears.

If there's a concern, it's not because he's a power back, but how Meyer spreads the ball around on the ground so much. He gets so many guys involved on the ground that there isn't quite a centerpiece to it all like a Pro Style offense, but even in a pro style that's not guaranteed. Teams now rotate backs a lot, so it's rare to see a true workhorse anymore. So if by underutilized, you mean not carrying the ball 25-30 times a game, then I'd assume that's probably correct.
