“Probably abandoned the run a little bit too early,” Troy coach Jon Sumrall said Monday concerning the loss to JMU.
JON JOHNSON Look for Troy tailback Kimani Vidal to be more heavily involved in the game plan Saturday when Troy takes to the field against Western Kentucky for an 11 a.m. kickoff at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
On Monday, Sumrall indicated the Trojans should have given Vidal more touches. Vidal with his 11 carries and Jordan Lovett with one carry for six yards were the only two who had chances at running back versus JMU. Vidal set a single-game Troy rushing record of 248 yards on 25 attempts in the season opener against Stephen F. Austin and rushed for 83 yards on 17 tries in the second game loss at Kansas State.
“But when you’ve got a great player who is also one of your hardest workers and also one of the best people on your team, we need to make sure to figure out ways to get him enough touches to be effective in a game plan.” Booming punts: Robert Cole, a transfer punter from New Mexico Military Institute, averaged 44 yards on seven kicks against JMU with a long of 60 yards. Sumrall has liked what he’s seen so far from the newcomer.
