Spread Offense Baby

It will be funny if we play the entire K-State game under center and have similar success moving the ball. The film watching and game planning preparation needed by opponents would be epic.

I think there is something to this. Depends on the opponent and their style of play/ athletes. IfvBC was in a soft zone, why not kill them with bubble screens and short passes to the outside all day. I remember teams killing us with that same tactic. Guys that want to press and man on man, then stretch them vertically a little bit.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...Miami missed the boat. When Florida was trotting out Tebow running the spread...it should have been Miami. Miami should have run roughshod over college football for the past several years with Denard Robinson or going HAM with Geno Smith...either way, Miami missed the boat on the spread.

Can you believe we had thes players in the same team and did not run a spread?

Roscoe Parrish
Devin Hester
Sinorice Moss
Ryan Moore
Darnell Jenkins
Kellen Winslow JR
Lance Leggett
 
It's fine. We missed the boat but we're pulling out in a yacht.

And again, those of you worried about a power run game, this o line is ******* huge. They were MAULING people yesterday. (How bout Flowers, by the way?) You can have a power run game with a spread. The fact that the QB is just taking the snap 5 yards further back is irrelevant.

One of Duke's scores was actually a counter out of the gun. We pulled the left guard and our line ******* blasted everyone in their path. Think of UF with the Pouncey's. They were a great running team. Harvin, Rainey and all those little fast ****ers. Texas did it with Jamaal Charles.
 
Of you have the athletes (QB!), pro set is unstoppable. Look at USC.

I'd have no problem staying with tradition and sticking with a pro set assuming we can recruit real QBs.

Working in an NFL type spread would be fine but keep that spread option BS outta here.

Especially inside the 10.

We had 2 possessions inside the 10 where we went 0-6 passing, 2 FGs.
1 could've been pick 6 and changed game. Run Run Run and TE, fade routes. Where'd they go?

We had the possession where we ran 5 straight times and scored on Eduardo's 1 yarder.

Exactly. Why the **** did we go away from it?

Hard to complain when you put up 34, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
 
Duke and Morris picking up that 1st down with the option = straight boner level 99

My boy Fisch even went with a little Oregon type of flow with the no huddle. I couldn't be happier with the offense right now. Leave the leather helmets and knuckle tape at home. We're lacing up the Nike's and clicking on the burners.
 
IF you want to score a lot of points and never win any NC's the spread is perfect for us.


I however have different aspirations. We have a huge OL and great RB's. We should be in i-formation and single back sets running down people's throats.

**** the spread. I don't want it anywhere near the Canes. And if Fisch insists on the spread attack and abandoning the run he can GTFOOH

Thank you for your small-minded take.

Spread formation,still timing & rhythm passing attack.That would make it a mix of west coast and multiple.I like it,the new formations and plays will give K-State a bit more to look at this week in the film room.
 
I think having the option to run the spread, and using the pro set as our base is the way to go. Why limit yourself? Pro teams do it, we should too. The spread is not a difficult scheme to learn.

You have to be extremely versatile in college football when facing so many different opponents and schemes. Our offense adjusted to what the opponent was doing, and it was successful. Why be hardheaded and continue to run a scheme that will not work against an opponent.
 
Whatever style of offense we run...


THE SHOTGUN RB DRAW TO MIKE JAMES MUST DIE. Just a horrible play call and it never worked and Fisch kept calling it repeatedly. Everybody knows James is a north/south runner but Fisch apparently.

207 yards rushing yesterday, mostly out of shotgun.
 
This is not the Tebow/Cam spread option. This is shotgun pass-first offense with no real designed QB run plays. It is more run-and-shoot than spread option.

I think the best game Fisch ever called was against Virginia Tech last year. That was big-boy football.
 
I don't care about styles moreso execution. The downside of a shotgun spread like the one we employed is the inability to successfully run play action and pretty much run period. That is why the QB is a predominant run threat in the spread option versions and why things like the pistol developed--maintain the run threat and the play action. If you can execute I don't care, but these are the clear downsides.

The offense we saw yesterday would/will have problems because there is no play action and it was too horizontal in nature. Now maybe what we saw is not exactly what we're going to be, but we're not going to do well running shotgun handoffs, hoping guys go for 50, and throwing a bunch of horizontal routes with WR's with shaky hands and a QB who at least in the past has been prone to errors. We are going to have to threaten down the field or teams like State will squat on us and suffocate us. They have too many athletes for what we offered.

+1 I appreciate the spread formations but would like to have also seen us line up in a power I and run the **** thing
