USF's offense was more explosive but that could be a reflection of the difference in competition. USF could afford to pass the ball more especially throwing the ball down the field. Element of the Gulf Coast were derived from Briles Baylor offense so I do not expect a huge shift from the fundamentals. I do believe some of the West Coast elements that supported the run may disappear. Either way I believe this style of offense will play well for Flowers and Kean.

The big thing I noticed is virtually every route tree had someone running a fly route; whether it was Rod, MVS or McCants. So those deep passes were thrown because it just so happened the one guy running the fly beat his man. The Baylor portion was the mixed formations splitting the defense extremely wide. I'm honestly not sure how much more difficult the new offense would be to master; unless all of the terminology is completely different. Heck if a pass isn't there QF just bailed and made it work; he's still gonna do that. Edited February 5, 2017 by Ionbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Over the years, we have not used our TE's enough. I believe Wilcox can be a beast. A big dude that can be a workhorse in this offense. I hope he works on his ball control in the preseason.

As long as we have "just enough" defense to keep them from catching up in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the game last night gave me a new appreciation for coaches calling a draw play on 3rd and 23 and settling for the field goal attempt.
