Will he bring the Franklin system to Mercer? Or can more than one in an area use it? I know Lex Christian uses it and if Im not mistaken Woodford.I had herd he only implements it to a small number of schools in certain geographical areas ?

That doesn't make sense. Why would an offense be limited to so many teams in a certain area?

[Go Eagles]

It use to be that way back in the early part of the decade. Now anyone can do it...they use to make it where once a team bought in they could black ball a team from entering in the fraternity. But all of those restrictions are all gone now.

I was told he plans on running a spread offense because in his words, it is easier to make a bunch of decent receivers than it is to make a stud running back. Luckily for Mercer they have a stud running back and some decent receivers. It will be interesting to see which kid becomes the qb.
