Florida 38, Arkansas 28 (final)

Question, inspired by that last play: Why do teams put the running back in at QB? Wake Forest did it a lot. Obviously the RB is not going to throw the ball, he's just going to run it himself or hand it off, so the linebackers and safeties don't even have to bother with coverage, they can just stack the line and stuff the obvious run. It's stupid.

Some running backs played Qb, I think Ginn did too, Anyway they are better runners than the Qb's . From that viewpoint they run the ball, unless they are going to pass. :)
