This and Lorenzo Ward. Never did anything to adjust to the wildcat formation.

JoJo was simply amazing, imo. TBH, I saw the same in Gurley during our game (not RB/talent wise) but in terms of Gurley refusing to let his team lose. He singlehandedly willed them to win. JoJo did the same. And I don't know if you recall UT's Al Wilson but he had that gift throughout his career - simply amazing.

As for the wildcat, you may or may not realize it but it give trouble to a ton of teams - a lot of it is because it's not a common/game to game formation but usually used sparsely BUT the other thing a lot of fans don't realize is that it adds extra blockers for your RB to deal with the opponent's oline in general - it even works well on passing plays when it's executed well. It gives even good dlines fits for those reasons but it's particularly deadly if you have a dynamic athlete to run it. JoJo was that athlete.
