Spread and Shred- Craig Stutzmann, Offensive Coordinator, Washington State

On today’s podcast, host Keith Grabowski continues our “Training Camp” series with Craig Stutzmann, offensive coordinator at Washington State. Coach Stutzmann was formerly the passing game coordinator at Hawaii and helped lead the Rainbow Warriors to 310.3 pass yards per game in 2018, good enough for ninth in the nation. During his time at Emory & Henry College (Va.) as offensive coordinator, his offense was dubbed “Spread-and-Shred” for their unique style of play. Stutzmann joins the podcast today to talk about his offense as well as how he implements it in the QB room during camp.
