Its not often that I agree with EVERY SINGLE reply to a post.... But this one, I do. I've been against the spread offense since I started watching USF football(pre Marquel Blackwell). Say all you want about how it can be sucessful. The fact of the matter is, it's a gimmick offense. The word "spread" is just a nice way of saying "run and shoot", and we know how many teams run that offense nowadays.... The fact is we averaged 4.3 yds/carry and 3.2 yds/reception as a team. Yet, we passed the ball 30 times and ran it 21. Now, I know the game was out of hand, but if we couldve pounded it early, it mightve been a closer score....at the very least. Oh, and on 3rd and 2, when Crossley is averaging 6 yds/carry, DO not throw the ball deep. Especially if Ronnie Banks is your QB. Period.
