they gave him the Mangum playbook, which is no throws over 5 yards. Throw a quick slant or hitch and get 3 yards per play. It's stupid and doesn't work long-term. You have to get explosive plays. The stats prove this. Once the coaches saw ZW hit on deep passes, which we haven't seen since Stewart and before him Max Hall, then they began to let him sling it until the 4th Q of Utah.
It would be such a mistake to try and reign in ZW's arm. He is our only chance at winning this season. The grad transfer RB's are not going to be game changers, but they will provide depth and tough yards.
Pass to set up the run. That's the approach.
