Congratulations on a great coaching job this year by you and your staff. You recruited to support a quick pass, hurry-up, light on run game, offense for your first three years. We believe in a one-back scheme that relies on the run but can also stretch defenses with our passing game. We believe in balance and will continue to recruit basically as we have in the past. We want to have the physical power to run and at the same time constantly look for skill people that provide big play explosiveness.
Balance is always the key to being successful.
QB Brian Russell 2. QB Brian Russell reminds me of Aztec QB David Lowery of several years past. Russell appeared vulnerable to a pass rush up the middle this year. That's an element of our offensive package but it will always be secondary in our emphasis. To be our quarterback, a player must be successful in the drop-back phase of our passing scheme.
