UIW carries strong run game into early showdown against Southeastern Louisiana
UIW’s Jarrell Wiley talks with teammates Thursday morning, Sept. 15, 2022, during the Cardinals’ practice in advance of their Saturday matchup against Prairie View A&M.As the Incarnate Word offense stepped on the field last week, coach G.J. Kinne scanned the Prairie View A&M defense and saw an umbrella alignment, with corners and safeties backed deep into the secondary.
In his first year at the helm, Kinne meshed his fresh ideas with the concepts the Cardinals retained by holding over much of the previous staff, building an attack centered on running the ball and play-action passing. The approach has helped UIW to a 3-0 start, vaulting the program to the highest ranking in its history at No. 4.
In Cooper’s absence, Jarrell Wiley stepped forward with 92 yards on the ground against Prairie View to bring him to a team-leading 199 for the year. Joining UIW in the class of 2021 but rarely seeing the field last year, Wiley said he benefited from a year of “redshirt lifts” in the weight room, allowing him to add about 15 pounds of muscle.
Scott has shined with his arm instead, ranking second in the FCS with 366 passing yards per game and 13 touchdowns. While Kinne said the approach is designed to preserve Scott’s health, the Cardinals won’t hesitate to unleash his ground threat as the stakes rise. Though Southeastern slipped out of the top 25 with season-opening road losses to FBS opponents Louisiana-Lafayette and Florida Atlantic, the Lions racked up 70 points against Central Connecticut State in last week’s home opener, showing all of the potency of last year’s group that ranked atop the FCS with 45.1 points per game.
An anchor on an offensive line that Kinne calls “the best in the country,” Jones said he believes UIW’s offense “can do the same thing this year.”“Hopefully it won’t be that close of a game this year,” Wiley said. “Hopefully we put up our 50-point average, like we always do, hopefully more. Get them gone, and take that No. 1 spot.”
