This just in: UCF Knights running back is fast. Who knew?In all seriousne s, Richardsons speed must help the Knights overcome what be a concern versus the Owls, and that would be injuries at wide receiver. More specifically, injuries at slot wide receiver. Backup Amari Johnson is out with a Howie Morenz Women Jersey foot injury until otherwise known, and starter Ryan OKeefe mi sed the vast majority of the game against Louisville with an injury as well. His situation is not yet known and will not be until after kickoff against FAU. That brings up the obvious question of, whos going to help take reps at slot?Well, the Knights can certainly move over to slot part of the time. Thats still robbing Peter to pay Paul, as the old saying goes. Theres another option that could at least be used part of the time to help offset any potential lo ses from the slot position.A two-tight end set is not out of the question and they are Jacques Plante Women Jersey something that UCF used some against Louisville. Thats a good option with Alec Holler and Kemore Gamble as the two primary tight ends available. The best option is this weeks X-factor for UCF, however.More Richardson. Whether it be from a two-back set or placing Richardson in the slot, the UCF coaching staff can decide on formations prior to the game at FAU. Semantics aside, heres the real reason UCF needs more of Richardson in the lineup.10.6 yards per carry from Richardson; 11.0 yards per reception from Richardson. The latter statistic does not even count his long reception that was called back from a holding penalty.As a runner, Richardson is No. 10 in the nation with his yards per carry average, . That is something the Knights would do well to tap into a little more often moving forward and beginning with the Chris Terry Jersey FAU contest.Scroll to ContinueRichardson is UCFs most dynamic player. Thats saying something considering all the physical skill position talent the offense po se ses. Pick one: and certainly come to mind, among others. Theres also the obvious elephant in the room, too.The Knights did not exactly tear it up in the second half against Louisville. Zero points and fewer than 100 yards of total offense are embarra sing. Against FAU, even if UCF goes through a few po se sions of not scoring and/or just not looking good on offense, the next po se sion could be as simple as hitting Richardson on a check down from Torrey Mitchell Women Jersey Plumlee and hes off to the races.Sometimes a team needs a jumpstart. A 75-yard touchdown reception would be just that. One that comes with a basic pa s that travels maybe 10 yards from Plumlees right hand to the waiting hands of Richardson. From there, two or three unfortunate defenders will be left in his wake as Richardson makes defenders mi s all the way to the end zone.Everyone that watches UCF knows that when Richardson touches the Joel Armia Men Jersey football hes a player that can use speed and athleticism to score in ways that other players can rarely match. Thats why hes this weeks X-factor as the Knights attempt to get back on track offensive against FAU.Keep up with UCF News! Check out, like, and subscribe to Inside The Knights on , , and
