"They're going to run out of split back and I-back," [Tim Savage] said. "He's built just like Cole Barnhardt. He's very shifty, elusive and quick. He's pretty much going to get 30-35 carries a game. He fills the stat sheet."

"They pack the box as best they can even if you're an open set with no tight end," Savage said. "They'll walk a backer up on the tight end. Same thing if you have a tight end. Always five- or six-man front. All man (in the secondary). They'll shift the safety over to the more talented side."

"They're an athletic team. They have some good skill guys," Savage said. "It's a much softer brand of football than in the (area)."
