There's a reason we've run the spread forever. Misdirection allows smaller line and shifty players in space to make plays. Try adapting your strategy, Willie. Get kids like Mack and Adams in space and watch them juke defenders and break 1 tackler, instead of plowing Mack into 6 guys and expecting him to come out of the pile a winner. Or, having Adams not be able to get open before the line collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to run an offense that takes 3 years to learn and requires 5 star Oline recruits to run effectively. We are getting there though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a possible decent offense minus QB they are just not being put in a position to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
