We have triumphantly blasted our way to 2006.
Did it? You realize that what Johnny Football did was the Air Raid?
Do you realize what manzeill(sp) did was organized grab ***?
I don’t know what’s funnier…. The phrase “organized grab asssss” or the word “asssss” being bleeped when you can use many variations of “fuckfuckfuck124”.
Those stats got padded heavily in the 2nd half. We'll know more what we have a week from now.
I'm sorry I wasn't talking about the Numbers themselves being impressive, I was talking about the fact that they were equal and that we didn't make any mistakes. I'm sorry I won't use any numbers that don't go over 400 or 500 yards again.
It actually was. Every coach is different, but it was very close. Sumlin never ran his QB until Johnny came along because, SHAZAAM, he actually COULD run it, at an effective level, while also being an accurate passer.
It’s not that difficult to find a dual threat QB. In this era, the majority of successful QBs in college are dual threat QBs. Hell, we have two on the roster that are not ready yet.
Wrong. It's not difficult to find a QB who runs well but is a less than good passer (Mike Wright, Nick Fitzgerald). But it is EXTREMELY difficult to find a guy who is great at both (Dak, Johnny, Cam).
True. I think we already know how we compare to LSU and Bama though. I want to know how we compare to the rest of our SEC opponents though.
I’m not arguing that. I’m saying duel threats are available. Spencer Sanders was available. He would be unreal
Different offenses that very few people run are that way for a reason. Even the ones (like the wishbone) that DID work for a lot of teams for a while.
For us, most years, you are correct. And if Arnett/Barbay are gung ho on not throwing it around the yard, that might be the case for this year too. But I don’t think that maximizes our potential THIS season.
Agreed. We have built up to a peak year, and it’s frustrating to see Arnett want to get away from it so quickly with the personnel we have. I’m going to wait a little longer to fully judge though. I mean it seems so many of the ‘run the ball’ crowd don’t realize that running lanes appeared open last year BECAUSE of the Air Raid. If we stop spreading it out and chunking it around, those lanes close.
New scheme introduced during a peak year, if they struggle could be a lot like 2018. Probably should have introduced the new scheme next year when it’s a rebuild anyway.
I think the compromise was to keep the offense in place but add tight ends and a running game like Briles does. I think the staff we had here would have made continuity and ten wins a strong possibility. I’m watching Hollingshead up at WKU and he’s going to be a name to watch.
The thing is we went 9-4, return alost the whole team and have an easier schedule. Will we win 9+ games this year ? If not why not ?
To me it’s a matter of having a good TE, rather than just a TE.
Running the air raid without leach would be dumb, and would be getting an interim OC with a one year deal which would be extra dumb.
Well every coach that was let go was long steeped in the air raid As was the entire team, especially the O line. Running more of a Briles version would have been an easier transition. Barbay has a pretty different system, a lot of the problem is the O line and I think Wright is going to wind up being the qb if we lose a couple in a row upcoming.
and the tradition continues of the backup being the best QB on campus...
Yeah, but I’d be a lot more impressed with our offense if we’d put up more of those stats before their defense was gassed. Those 30 & 40 yard runs won’t be as easy to come by against the rest of our schedule.
