“Their new offensive coordinator came from North Texas, who was the number one scoring offense in the country,” defensive coordinator Kane Wommack told reporters on Monday. “They also led the country in yards per game.”
Davis wasn’t the only mastermind behind the Mean Green’s offensive attack last season. Head coach Eric Morris was successful enough to get a bigger job at Oklahoma State, and took along quarterback Drew Mestemaker.
Still, he adds a wrinkle that the Crimson Tide will have to deal with, given that he has never coached a game with the current East Carolina group. Alabama cornerback Zabien Brown gave his appraisal of the ECU offense on Tuesday.
Preparation has required a look at tape from last year at North Texas.
“We watch a lot of where their old offensive coordinator was at,” Brown said. They like the tempo, they want to throw the ball. Spread team, so we’ll be ready for it.”
