I figure to run the ball more effectively we will see Towles under center more often. 70-30 mix. What you guys say?
 
The only scenarios I see Towles being under the center are goal line, or 3rd and short. I'm gonna say 25-40% of those will be under center. The other 60-75%% will be in the shotgun.

I can't see anything close to that mix, more shotgun than not. I agree with Rhavicc. I wouldn't even mind having JoJo back there a few times, I think he was much better at hitting the right hole in the Wildcat, and we did get a trick TD out of it.
 
Most runs I would guess will be read-options from the shotgun. Towles will be under center in goal line situations and on 3rd and short occasionally.
 
I could be completely off base, but didnt last years WVA team use the pistol for their heavy sets and obvious run downs?
