JC with a running clock in this one. I’m interested in seeing if Lawson’s carries increase week by week or not. He had one carry last week so does he get 3-4 this week. If he gets healthy that changes 4A.

I have been wondering the same thing. The way that McCoart and Conley have been running the ball so far, it's going to be hard for Lawson to crack the starting lineup in the backfield. It would be tough for a coach to tell a kid averaging 9.5 yards a carry and over 100 yards rushing per game that he has lost his starting position - but Lawson had even better stats before his injury. Most coaches would welcome such a problem.

I wonder how well a no huddle running offense would work for JC? Not for every series, but as a way of exploiting their depth and for conditioning purposes. It would be nice to be able to go to a hurry up offense in the playoffs after practicing it some during district games. A criticism of offenses like JC's has always been that they can't afford to fall behind against a good team but JC has generally been as effective at mounting come backs as pass-oriented teams and pass-oriented teams often have trouble moving the chains when they try to sit on a lead.

I really like that idea. In one of Coach Peck’s interviews he talked about the biggest problem so far has been getting everybody enough carries to be satisfied. The hurry up for a few series would help take care of that. That for sure have the running backs to play a faster pace and start to really wear teams down. Even outside of the main 3 backs and Lawson they also have a freshmen, Logan music, who has had over 100 yards on 5 Carries in the first two games.
