senior Bo Stucker return to the defensive line

Left out he was unanimous 1st team D-Line his Junior year.

Back to the shotgun.   May be a good move, but switching back & forth doesn’t make things easy.

They played a little of it last year. Not much. I guess it all depends on your personnel.

Have to adapt to your personnel, Nederland under Neumann did it all the time, one year he pretty much ran the wildcat as their offense.

All depends on personnel at the high school level.

Exactly. Same thing I’m referring to.

Didn’t say it couldn’t be done, it’s just not easy.   I would think switching to the Slot T would be a lot more difficult, but I’m just guessing.   I’m no Coach.  But I’ve seen Coaches who wouldn’t adapt at all (teeth grinding).
