First off, this is a great problem to have. We have a generational talent as a starter in McCaffrey, a guy with ludicrous speed in Love, and what looks like a more traditional Stanford power back in Scarlett. What a time to be a fan of this team.
Second, I'd be in favor of McCaffrey being his own vulture to a certain degree, and getting more of the short-yardage carries (and the TDs that come with them). That probably means fewer touches at RB or split wide (with Love getting those), but whatever gets Love in space makes me happy. And giving the PR duties to Love seems like a good option as well, just to limit Christian's touches.
I'm guessing our offensive coaches will have some fun brainstorming ways to get Love and McCaffrey as many touches as possible. And really, with Chryst (presumably) being in his first year as a starter, you have to think he'll take the check down to McCaffrey even more than Hogan did.
So excited to see this offense next year, though the unbalanced schedule tempers my optimism for the overall season record. Now I'm just hoping that Christian tells us all he'll return for his senior season in 2017!
