Who is Nick Heuser?

Who is he? He is the lone fullback on this years Cardinal football team and from what I have seen has seen very limited action this year. I go to all of the home games and watch all of the away games on TV (or ESPN3.com) and I don't remember seeing him against Murray State,or FIU, and I did not see him against Marshall either, but I did see him play against UK and which game did we have our best rushing game? That is right against UK, DB broke loose for almost 100 yards of rushing and he had an extra blocker. Before I go any further I understand that UK's D-line is not the best in the world but I think they are better than Marshall and I don't think this lone fullback is the answer to the whole problem but he is a key piece. I can't blame VA and JW for bad performances with a sub par O-line in front of them but why not throw that extra blocker in to help these guys out especially if we are not going to abandon the run? On top of all of that we have this conservative play calling going on, these two things are on Sanford to fix. You have a guy you can throw in and help out the running game but you don't use him and the one time you do you have a better rushing game. You break away from the run game a few times every so often and go to a hurry up offense and your offense looks good because you are using the strength of your offense and that is your receiving corps. HCCS is going on the road to recovery this week to try and fix a problem with this beloved Cardinal football team and I say his first stop needs to be Mike Sanford's office.
