For this head coach, 80 yards and a touchdown for Virginia Cavaliers running back Jordan Ellis in Saturday’s 28-10 win against William & Mary aren’t enough.
On Bronco Mendenhall’s radio show Tuesday night, he said his biggest nitpick with the offense on Saturday was the lack of regular success in running the ball. Given the slow track due to constant rainfall, that wasn’t entirely unexpected. But Mendenhall said that while he likes to see his teams average of four yards per carry, the Cavaliers only averaged 2.9 against the Tribe.
Additionally, he remarked that he wants improvement from the defense in containing quarterback scrambles.
