“The last guy I’m going to talk about is Jerry Mack, who will be coaching our running backs,” Heupel said. “Look at his track record, he comes from Rice as an offensive coordinator, understanding the entire perspective on the offensive side of the football. He was a tremendous head coach. I think coach of the year honors maybe three times during his head coaching career. He gets it from a global perspective, just how to run a program and what we’re doing offensively. He’ll get caught up to speed on what we’re doing. Just being in the room with him, already he’s got tremendous ideas on things we can continue to grow and develop in. He will do a great job of teaching our running backs and controlling that position and we’re excited about having him here and a great group of men that will do a tremendous job of instilling confidence, energy, passion and work ethic in our young guys.

“We are excited about them being a part of what we’re doing and getting our guys going offensively. And again, for us, on the offensive side of the ball, we’re going to play with tempo. We’re going to play in space. We’re going to apply pressure to the defense consistently, and we’ve got a group of guys here on the offensive side of the football that are ready to go lead that charge.”
