Let’s flash back to 2016:
It’s 3rd and 2 - we’re in 4 wide - and the defense has 4 guys in the box. For those of you that don’t know what that means, the defense just dared us to run the football. Not since the days of DeAndre Washington, and before that maybe Kenny Williams has Texas Tech had a legit running threat out of the backfield (I know, it feels like longer ago than it really is). This situation was often overshadowed by Pat Mahomes being able to make magic happen in most any situation possible, but - 4-man boxes need to be exploited for what they are - running formations.
