Will they be rushing more than they always do?  I mean they run the ball 95% of the time.  Are you saying they may literally not attempt any passes at all next year?

I don't know what changes Coach Peck might make to the offense but Mason Lawson averaged 7.5 ypc in 2019, 9.8 ypc in 2020, and he was averaging 12.5 ypc when he was sidelined for the season last year. Zack McCoart averaged 10.6 ypc last season and led the team in rushing.

If Lawson has fully recovered from surgery, and if Conley and Price improve over last season, it will have to be tempting to keep the ball on the ground on almost every play. I don't know if JC has ever had three 1,000 yard rushers in a season, but I believe that is a real possibility this season, depending on how the carries are distributed. Johnson Central always have some great running backs in the pipeline, so one of the younger running backs that I didn't list could have a breakout season.

I am looking forward to see how this team develops and would love to see them back in the state finals.
