Walker turned in his fifth 100-yard yard game Saturday with 12 carries for 102 yards and two touchdowns. His scoring runs of 16 and 33 yards were the evidence Helton points to for Walker’s improved vision.
Walker’s touchdown runs gave WKU the offensive break it’s been looking for all season. Of WKU’s 21 touchdown drives through eight games, 14 of those scores have come from inside the 10-yard line, which obviously means more play calls and a shorter field for opposing teams to defend. Scoring on longer plays is all part of the evolution toward what Helton wants this offense to become.
