Tech offensive coordinator with track record of putting up big numbers

BLACKSBURG — Today’s era of college football features fast-paced offenses, with scoring that resides at an all-time high and yardage that gets racked up in record-breaking quantities.

Justin Fuente and his staff run this exact style of offense, but the man tasked with coordinating this offense gave a rather interesting answer when asked recently to give a general overview of his philosophy.

His first words?

“We’re going to run the ball,” new coordinator Brad Cornelsen said.

Cornelsen served as the co-coordinator at Memphis this past season, during which the Tigers rushed for nearly 180 yards per game.
