What do they have coming back?

 

Yes

I'm sure they had a backup to Jude, but did he see much playing time last season?

So is Johnson Central done without JJ?

 

Anyone?

It wasn't just JJ. What actually made JC such a powerhouse team the year before was an uncommon combination of talent in JK Hall at QB , Ousley at FB, along with JJ. All three played very good defense too, along with some good LB's and lineman. When Ousley came out of the backfield through the 4 hole to block for JJ the effect was devastating. Defensive backs and ends had to respect JJ's ability to get out on the edge, if that happened he'd blow right by the secondary. That meant the second level players had to get out there ahead of JJ. If Ousley was able to seal the over pursing inside backer by cutting up in the 4 hole, JJ could make one of those sharp cuts and again, he'd be through the secondary before the defense could adjust. So he could burn you on the edge or up the middle. What made things even more interesting was Hall's ability to fake the handoff and bootleg around the near side. The defense is thinking flow and he's got the edge on the other side. He wasn't as fast as JJ, but he broke off a lot of good gainers doing that. It was a nightmare to defend.

 

By the time JJ was a senior, he could do a lot of it on his own as his final season stats show. I can't imagine JC coming close to playing at the level they did the past 4 years.

They don't have anyone to step into the vacancies and keep the scheme successful? What kind of success were they having with their JV and frosh teams? I understand not playing at the level they played at the last four years but will they see the same kind of success or fall off some?
