Courtney Messingham likes to run the ball behind fullbacks and tight ends. He values time of possession and play-action passes. And he doesn’t give a flip about the number of snaps his team takes in a game, as long as his team wins.
That makes him an outsider compared to most Big 12 offensive coordinators, but he should fit right in at Kansas State.
Messingham has no plans to change the run-heavy system he coached to impressive results the past two seasons at North Dakota State now that he is calling plays for Chris Klieman with the Wildcats, even though the rest of the league is filled with fast-paced, high octane attacks.
