Stove looked great as our speed sweep guy against Arkansas. I would definitely like to see that become more and more a staple of this offense going forward. He had 106 yards rushing on 4 carries (I'm counting 12 yards in there that was considered a pass from JF3, but was clearly another sweep play). If you take away the 78 yards on the first play, he was still averaging 10 yards a carry on that play. Also, he had one juke move in the backfield on an Arky defender that looked like something I would do in the old NCAA game (RIP).

My question is, how are we going to get everyone the ball when KJ comes back? I love KJ and Pettway and want to see both of them mixed in there to display their strengths, but have also loved Truitt running the ball as well. Hopefully, we can continue to get him and Stove touches going forward and find a good way to mix everyone in.

Can't give everyone touches, but I expect to see a distribution something along the lines of:

Pettway - 20-25 carries
Kerryon - 17-20 carries + 1-3 receptions
Other - 5(+ depending on score)

I'd kind of like to see some sets with Pettway and Truitt in the backfield together once Kerryon is healthy.
