Rushing Attack in Play for Phil Longo's Air Raid

Posted May 15, 2019

Those skills allow for a seamless transition into Phil Longo’s version of the Air Raid, which is more than just a passing scheme. His offense at Ole Miss averaged 164.1 rushing yards per game at a 4.7 yards-per-carry clip in 2018. (Inside Carolina)
