West Virginia running back Kennedy McKoy had a pretty good start to his career in his first two seasons, rushing for 1,099 yards and 11 touchdowns.
But he wasn’t happy with how he performed past the line of scrimmage and made a concerted effort to make bigger plays and have longer runs. Missing defenders at the second level has plagued WVU running backs over the last five seasons — unable to break off the “big one.”
McKoy used the offseason to try to make tacklers miss in the secondary and that work came to fruition last Saturday at Texas Tech.
