While the primary quarterback, Kenny, is not a traditional running threat, the coaching staff has implemented specific schemes to utilize other players' physical capabilities to improve offensive efficiency.
Well, anytime you can get a plus one in the
run game with quarterback-driven runs,
it can give you advantages in those moments.
So, you know, Kenny's not necessarily
a snap it to him and run type of guy,
so just trying to find other ways to get guys the ball.
When I saw him be Brumgaard, Lenore Sellers,
Keelan Russell, A&M's quarterback,
all the guys that we play that can run
and he's running a lot of the same
schemes, Jared Curtis running G running pin pull,

So we've, we've talked about it the last, you know, two or so weeks.
And, and this week I made it mandatory.
I said, get him something that he can run the ball. And, you know,
I love what Joe came up with. It was great,
