@Bryan Driskell I'm curious what your thoughts would be on the concept of bringing in Wimbush on the closing drive(s) of games where we have the lead and are trying to run out the clock.

While I suspect the immediate reaction is to be opposed to it, as why mess with what's worked to that point by getting cute with 2 QBs, there are a few reasons why I think it could be effective in the playoffs in particular.

1) We are a better running team with Wimbush in the game, as you have highlighted previously
2) It forces defenses to make late mid-game adjustments that they may not have been planning for
3) Wimbush's general mobility increases the odds of a broken play scramble to move the chains if needed (though to his credit, Book did this well against USC)

Any thoughts?
