Brian Kelly Was Asked About Jayden Daniels' Run vs. Pass Balance

Q. Ideally, do you want Jayden Daniels to run less? Are you okay with him taking on that much of a workload running the football?

BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, I mean I think when we evaluate when he runs we want to see that if it was within the progression and it was a really good coverage. Or maybe that play wasn't great against this coverage. Or we got beat at a particular position and he got flushed. Versus you turn down, you know, a potential high/low read and you took off, right?

And so that's what we're trying to evaluate. And it's really a little bit of both. I think there's still growth there where we can stay a little bit more patient and a little bit more locked in on the progression. And then there are some times where there are really dynamic runs where there was really just nothing there and he made something happen.

So you want to be careful where you go, Hey, you're running too much, and then when he needs to be dynamic he's not. So we have to be very careful and along the way keep coaching him to really do a great job of getting through his progressions and seeing the things necessary that allows us to be balanced in both.
