For a position that was declared extinct a decade ago this bowl season has proved that judgement premature.
As a former fullback, I approve of this post. The position is a lost art anymore, it seems.
Article in the DMReg. about the difference in tasks of the two fullbacks in the Rose bowl, GA and OKla. GA's more like ours.I do wonder, though, why they can't carry the ball more, remember IA , of course, way back, being beat or almost beat by fbs. Oh, I know things change, formations change, etc.As a former fullback, I approve of this post. The position is a lost art anymore, it seems.
It is funny to hear espn announcers talk about the fullback position being "old school".
