Justin Rice Offensive Sets

apo · Post by **apo** » September 15th, 2021, 5:55 pm

I feel like some 3rd down/goal line plays for Justin Rice like they used to do for Nick Vigil would be pretty fun. Thoughts?

There’s plenty more gifted minds than mine on this board who could give far more informed opinions.

I just felt like we left points on the board with UND.

Where specifically did we leave points on the board against UND? That is, which phase or aspect of our offense didn’t seem to have sufficient strength to compete?

Rice is simply too valuable defensively to risk a minimal amount of help offensively in random situations.

There were multiple but the most poignant being when we got to the UND 2 yard line twice and came away with zero points.

Although Justin did start out at Fresno State as a running back. I think that he should stick with line backing. We have plenty of capable backs that should be able to handle the load.

Nick was the 5A MVP at Fremont his senior season. It may have been the highest classification in Utah at the time.

This thread reminded me of the season when Jalen Davis lead BYU in receiving yards, catches, and TD's.... Good times.

It's not out of the realm. Facrell was successful doing a few TE sets. Seriously though, how good a RB would Wagner have been?

Also, we need to see more Peasly on the field period. He's one of our best athletes.

I kept commenting from my seat in the stands, about how the speed of Peasley would have been able to take advantage of some of the running opportunities that Logan Bonner wasn't able to produce out of. As soon as Peasley enters the game, he takes his first carry 60 yards to the house.

I don’t know that Wells put in Vigil just to be fun and exciting. I think he did so more out of desperation to beat BYU. It worked. I’m glad it did.

I’m also glad we aren’t trying to save a season early like Wells was.

Except we have running backs over this year, beefy ones to boot. That year we were thin and so were they.

Our RB's were average at best for about five years after the Turbin/Kerwynn/M. Smith era. Wells used Vigil because he was the best RB on the team as well as being the best LB.

There isn't a need for Rice to play RB. We have good RB's right now and Rice wouldn't crack the three back rotation we have.

This thread probably sets an all-time record for name misspellings.

Joey D was a stud! Way above average.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I liked JD. He was instrumental as we went through three QB's in 2013 and had a great Poinsietta Bowl. He just wasn't as explosive as Turbin/KW/Smith but yes, not a below average back.

I hope we do anything and everything to beat byu! If it means running offensive sets with 3 QB's, using a DT as a RB, on-side kick on every kickoff, going for it on 4 down in our own endzone, whatever - DO IT!!

BTW, I'm beyond excited that the byu team will be next to our student section this year. MAKE IT COUNT!!

You're a genius.
