Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Austin Peay is coached by Scotty Walden. Walden previewed the Tennessee-Austin Peay game with Vols Wire.
“We are a spread vertical option offense,” Walden said. “We have always been that way. We have been doing the wide spilts for about ten years now, what (Art) Briles was doing and what (Josh) Heupel is doing now. My origins, Mike Leach, I studied him. Kliff (Kingsbury) was always so good to me, letting me pick his brain.
“I understood that you have to be able to run the ball to win championships. My biggest thing was, how do you blend the worlds? How do you blend throwing the ball down field effectively and running the ball? That is what we were doing my first OC job.”
