If you look at Josh Heupel’s past offenses, his use of running backs with the UCF Knights was different from what he ran with the Missouri Tigers. Given Mizzou’s standing in the SEC, what he did there will likely be more relevant to Tennessee football going forward.

There is one major difference between the two: power and balanced running backs vs. all-purpose backs.
