Southwestern 35 Harlan County 8

 

I feel that the Black Bears offense would be more effective with Marcus McMillian starting at tailback. Green is not a big-time runner. He is slow, and good for short yardage situations. With that said, why not just leave Green at QB, and let McMillian get the bulk of the carries, with Cody Taylor spelling him, and Shaquille Clark getting some touches at fullback.

I disagree, if the Bears are going to pound the ball 8 out every 10 plays then Green is the perfect TB. He is one of those backs that get stronger as the game goes on. I would just like to see him get the chance this season to get 20 to 25 carries a game at TB in the "I". I would say if you went back over the past 3 seasons and looked at his stats when he was the feature TB it would show big numbers. This is not to say McMillian or Taylor should not get some carries, but Green should be the workhorse at TB this season.
