      Since CFB football content is slow, I thought I would throw this thought I had into the universe.

      Assuming Beck’s offense is allowed to look very similar to how it did at NM, imagine having Ja’Quinden Jackson as the QB for that.

      Maybe his issue was not being able to process Ludwig’s offense quickly enough, and a streamlined RPO scheme with that dude’s size and running ability seems like a system he would have excelled in.

      Maybe Nate Johnson can be that dude too…if the current dude turns out not to be the dude after all.

      Ludwig should have adapted his scheme to the talent and weapons.

      I’ll add on, can you imagine NJ and JJ running option as a QB and RB duo with either of them interchangeable at either position? Lord help me.

      Instead we got 12 games of Bryson Barnes, runs up the middle into full boxes and the occasional double reverse in the red zone. But hey, at least we didn’t turn the ball over…

      Ludwig had to be gone and Whitt needs to prove that he shouldn’t have followed.

        to be fair to Ludwig he ran Barnes and Johnson out together in the Baylor game and was obviously trying to set up what you are talking about. Then he tried the same thing against SC with Jackson and Vaki.

          Came to comment this as well. Man this really made me want to pick scabs from that time frame. Aggravating how inept it was.

          99.9999999% of the time one qb leading the team is all you need.
