Greg Ward Jr. created a signature identity for Houston football's fast-paced offense as the shifty quarterback who could cut and run out of the pocket any moment.
But Justin Holman might have a few tricks up his sleeve too for UCF as the team looks to keep pace when the teams meet up Saturday at noon in Bright House Networks Stadium.
Both teams have athletic quarterbacks, but where Ward's role might be shaped by his preferred style of play, Holman's ground game has become necessary for an offense struggling to make plays.
UCF quarterbacks coach Danny Barrett said Holman regretted not making more plays with his feet during the team's 30-16 loss at Temple Saturday.
