Q: Is the almost complete elimination of the fullback going to hurt the running game in the home stretch?

Rich Ewald, Columbia, Tenn.

BOUCHETTE: They have not eliminated the fullback position. In fact, they use it a lot this year, it's just not Dan Kreider back there. They use Sean McHugh, their third tight end who has played the hybrid position of H-back (combo tight end and fullback) in the past, and they use Carey Davis. Their running game just is not what it used to be for many reasons, including philosophy.
