Sale, Juluke tasked with igniting running game

Billy Napier played quarterback at Furman, and he’s spent his coaching career working with quarterbacks and wide receivers. Given that background, you might think that he’d want to spread the field with five receivers and throw it 40 times per game.

However, that hasn’t been the case in his head coaching career, and, if all goes according to plan, it probably won’t be the case at Florida, either.

His 2021 Louisiana team ran the ball on 58.2 percent of their snaps. They had four players log at least 100 carries, including a pair of running backs with more than 150 carries.
