Caesar On Running Backs Rotation

Here's Pete Carroll trying to explain the running backs rotation.

``No, I'm not going to do that because I can't. I don't know how to tell you. We have plays that we design with guys in mind, and it kind of varies week to week, and then we start the game and we start playing guys and then we go with who feels right and who's hot and that's ‑‑ there's no science to that that I can explain to you. It's just kind of a feel. Really, I make the call on that and go with the guys ‑‑ I'll confer with (Steve) Sarkisian on it, but I really much just take account of what's going on and then once we get through the early part of the game, then we're looking and feeling it out.
``If you noticed, like Stafon Johnson, I think, got his shot in the second quarter because we threw the ball so much in the first quarter, he didn't even get in until the second quarter. But that wasn't by design at all, that was just by numbers of carries and how things went.
``But there isn't a plan for ‑‑ I wouldn't share that with you anyway.''

I am surprised Coach Carroll shares much of anything with Scott. Apparently Pete does not read Scott's grade (downgrade) of the SC coaching prowess each week.
