Smart move using Petrino family motto to craft Louisville offense to Lamar Jackson

The Petrino family coaching tree has a pretty simple offensive philosophy. Don’t get caught up in shoehorning a team into a pro-style, option or spread offense.

Just feed the studs.

“Find the best way to get the best player the ball,” Paul Petrino, younger brother of Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino, said.

At Louisville, that’s quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Heisman Trophy front-runner who has accounted for more touchdowns (25) than 96 percent of the 128 FBS teams.
