UTSA film study: How Roadrunners' 'bigs' package powers short-yardage success
The Roadrunners have found more rushing success this year with back A'Marion Peterson running behind a heavy set with eight offensive linemen.
The UTSA Roadrunners' offensive strategy relies on a unique "bigs" package formation, utilizing eight offensive linemen to create advantageous situations for running back A Marion Peterson. In a game against South Florida, Peterson capitalized on this strategy to score three short-yardage touchdowns, contributing significantly to UTSA's 31-24 victory.
Coach Jeff Traylor highlighted the importance of the "bigs" package in utilizing Peterson's strengths and leveraging the deep roster on the offensive line. The formation involves aligning two offensive linemen in the backfield, with additional players such as Jonah Miller, Devron Williams, and MJ Senegal positioned strategically to create space for Peterson.
This approach proved effective in converting crucial third-down situations, ultimately leading to a decisive touchdown in the final minutes of the game.
