“My high school’s a shotgun team too, so just like theirs,” Curtis told UGASports.com last year. “We have a couple plays where we’re under center just like them. They do a lot of screen passes and quick slants and stuff which really works and tears up some defenses. Overall, I like it. I like it a lot.”
