Barnett buys into Bell’s new offense

One thing that has been made clear by new offensive coordinator Kerwin Bell is that USF’s offense will be run differently next season.

Returning quarterback Blake Barnett doesn’t want to dwell on the past.

He said Bell’s new scheme gives the signal callers more of an opportunity to open up the offense to its playmakers.

“I don’t really want to talk too much about last year’s offense,” Barnett said. “This year’s offense is more of a pro-style concept, which is good, because it gives the quarterbacks a better idea that when we go out to a play, to execute on a higher level.”

Bell will look to use the many weapons the Bulls have on offense in ways never thought of last season. With Barnett remaining under center, Jordan Cronkrite and Johnny Ford will continue to be a dual threat out of the backfield, but Bell has something more in mind for Ford than just rushing the ball.

“Man, he [Ford] has been a surprise,” Bell said. “He has been one of our best man beaters. He runs really crisp routes. It’s unbelievable how he has caught on to it. We have sold him on the fact that this position uses all of his talents … With him and Cronkrite being in the backfield, it is going to really utilize the talent we have on offense.”

Pepsi or Coke sir

What a crazy concept using Ford in open space and not running him up the middle.

I don't think anyone wants to talk about that.

I've totally been trying to bury it deep in my memory banks since December.

If BB lights it up in this offense, it should definitely help his pro prospects.

That's really all I've wanted to hear the past two years because it's been a few seasons since we've seen this happen at USF.  There's not a single excuse out there for this not to happen with the speed and recruits we have access to.

Well this is kind of nice to hear...
