“That (competition) is wide open,” Pitre said. He came over from the Bears to replace Desmond Kitchings, who left after a season to become the offensive coordinator at Virginia.
Last season, the Cougars had to lean on Allgeier, and he delivered with 1,601 yards and an FBS-leading 23 touchdowns.įirst-year running backs coach Mike Pitre is fine with using a committee approach. He rushed for 1,140 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2020 in the offense that was directed by former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, who was the second player selected in the 2021 draft. But injuries at the running back position forced BYU to return him to his former position in 2019. He was a walk-on in 2018 and was switched to linebacker. He rushed for 2,731 yards and 36 touchdowns over the past two seasons. Second year, again, I think confidence has grown at each position, but more importantly for the offensive line.”Īllgeier, the team’s fifth-round selection (151st overall), is a physical runner. “You can just feel it out there, guys are playing with more confidence. “We can make ourselves better by bringing back those same guys for competition along the offensive line,” Ragone said. The offensive line has to help the ballcarriers by creating more and bigger holes to run through. “I think (over) the course of our offseason and from what we did last year, realizing there were really good things on film and some things we need to clean up.” “Regardless of who’s playing quarterback or at what level, it helps when you’re efficient (running the ball),” offensive coordinator Dave Ragone said. With the switch at quarterback, the Falcons need a major improvement from its rushing attack. “It’s not a surprise that he’s able to make that transition,” Marquice Williams said. Last season as a rookie, he played in 15 games and returned 20 punts for a 7.7 yard average per return and 23 kickoffs for a 21.3 average. I think that’s an advantage for him.”Īvery Williams, who’s 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds, returned three kickoffs and six punts for touchdowns while at Boise State. “He knows the defensive aspects of the game and how defenders want to attack ballcarriers. “He has an edge to him from being a defensive player,” Marquice Williams said. Last season, he was a returner and played some at cornerback. All of those things.”Īvery Williams was a returner for Boise State and was electric in the open field. “You go back and you watch the college career,” special-teams coordinator Marquice Williams said. The move of Avery Williams is intriguing. (We’ve got) guys with different skill sets.” We’ll continue to look to add there, too. Don’t be surprised if you see Avery Williams in the mix back there in a different kind of role at running back. “I want to see what Caleb Huntley can do.
