Coaches Q&A with Troy Gore:
Q. What are his strengths at running back?
A. He has great vision. He’s very elusive and is very good at making people miss him in tight spots. He can run with power inside and he also has the speed to bounce it outside.
He has added 20-pounds to his frame and will be a more physical runner.
This year we want the ball in his hands as much as possible. We’re going to throw to him out of the backfield or put him in the slot.
Q. How much defense will he play this year?
A. We will put him in some packages. When he’s out there it will be on pass defense. He’s a great athlete and will make plays for us when we need him too.
He has great vision and is physical.
Q. How’s he as a kick returner?
A. Last year he returned two kickoffs. He’s a threat to score every time he touches the ball.
