Open the playbook and let it fly.
Mike Miller and Deshawn Purdie is a match that was years in the making. Charlotte's offensive coordinator was recruiting the true freshman quarterback when he was in high school, and their connection took another step up when he committed to being a 49er.
Tim Brewster sought to embrace the relationship in its purest form.
He told his coaching staff to stay off the headsets during offensive series — let the quarterback and coordinator mesh without distraction. The plan paid off with the third-most passing yards in a game for a Charlotte quarterback and new records across the board for a first-year signal-caller.
