yes, he missed the Rice game with a muscle strain, and he helps buy Newman time with his blocking and all the intangibles to help make that offense run.

The thing Wake has to do differently is not hand off to Carney 3 straight times within sight of the goal line like they did vs. Utah St. before attempting the 4th down pass to (taller receivers) Surratt and Co.

They turned it over on downs 2 times vs. Utah State when they just needed to mix it up a bit better like they were doing outside of the red zone.
