Article states receivers run in the plays. I thought it was mainly the A-Backs.

Really think the person who wrote that knows what an A-back is? Makes the title ironic perhaps.

I hope they don't take the time to educate themselves. Well what am I worried about anyways, they did choose to go to USF after all.

It's going to come down to assignment football — who has the QB, who has the dive, who has the pitch.

Are they practicing without the ball?

Do they even know we have 3 Abacks every play?

Dude also called the Braves of Alcorn State at I-AA team. The nomenclature has been FCS rather than I-AA for more than a decade.
Bad writing, coupled with bad editing.

Little do they know we haven't actually run the triple option since JT left...

Damn that’s nit picky. For a quick overview that wasn’t bad. I’m sure we’ve sent calls in with receivers before. And honestly calling an AB a receiver isn’t the craziest thing in the world.

Wow, we really get hung up on the technical details of this offense sometimes.

I guess he didn't call the b-back a fullback or the screaching would have been overwhelming

Correct. Using A-back nomenclature would require an unnecessary paragraph explanation of what that is.

The writer explained what A- and B- backs were earlier in the article using one word each. He just got the receiver/A-back thing wrong.

Oh snap...he called the BBack a fullback! When he screams out there "tackle the fullback!" it will confuse his players and the BBack will run for a TD!

A-back looks like a slot receiver and pure passing plays often go to the A-back (mostly because our current WRs have trouble catching).
