I'm interested to see how Spurrier & Co. use Brandon Wilds next season. If he puts on 10-15 pounds of muscle during the spring/summer, will you see him & Lattimore in the backfield at same time? Will he be used as a TB/FB combo type back?
Which combination(s) seem more likely:
a) Split Backs w/ Marcus in shotgun formation w/ Shaw running read option/pass play out shotgun (2nd back used to pass block or flare out for swing pass or check down).
Line up as FB, with Marcus at TB in a true I-formation (Spurrier loves the draw & play action calls out of this formation).
c) Mainly seeing action as backup TB to give Marcus a rest. Getting 5-10 carries a game, and maybe 2-3 receptions per game.
Wilds probably is 2nd string going into fall camp (if the RUMORS about possible Miles to WVU/RB Coach Robert Gillespie or transferring any other school turn out to be legit).
Point being - Wilds has some serious talent running & catching the ball. With Alshon leaving, having Shaw, Lattimore, Buster Anderson, Ace, and Wilds on the field at the same time will create fits for SEC defenses (not to mention our incoming talent we have waiting to step up).
