When's the last time a major college defense saw the wishbone?
Hell, I think Navy ran it some last year.

True, I forgot about them.  But they're one of what, 114 or so D-1 football teams?

Rice was an option team before a year or two ago when they made a coaching change.  Several teams (Air Force) run a version of the wishbone, at least its essentually a 3 back option offense.  But to say they faced a wishbone with legit top tier athletes, its been a long time.

I'm anxious to see what we do with the FB spot this year. Last year we went away from McCardle and used a TE as FB as the season went along.  This year, still no one listed as FB, so I'm assuming when we use I formation we'll put a TE in there.

I hated seeing McCardle in the game at FB. He should only be allowed on special teams.

I like the guy, but mostly because one of the coaches called him a "rolling ball of butcher knives" or something to that effect.

Mccardle(?) was a liability at times, not strong enough to carry the ball much and not big enough to take on a linebacker in the big 12.  I think he was rewarded for working his butt off and the fact we had absolutely no one else that was ready to step in and take that position.  I though Pooshke(?) was ok in that role at times.
