Every now and then – it’s similar to Lamar (Jackson) if you watch Lamar – it’s not always perfect, but they want the ball in their hands. For that first guy, it’s hard to retrace.”


Humphries and the other blockers set up running lanes for both Drake and Murray: “We leave (Cox) unblocked. Clay is going to block (linebacker Joe Schobert) right here.

I kind of left Pugh out to dry because the linebacker played downhill.”


Williams doesn’t know if Murray will hand the ball off or keep it: “I’m not worried about what he’s doing. I’m blocking the play for Kyler pulling it. I’m not worried if he pulls it or gives it. I’m just going to do my job and let him make the decision on the backend.”
