He looked exactly the same, if not worse, during the spring game. That is my concern. It was like he wasn't seeing anything past the primary receiver and then it was automatically look for Marks. I know some Rogers homers will tout completion percentage and # of completions, but hell there were a couple of games where he was nearing 30 completions and not even 150 yards passing. That just doesn't work when you have no running game.
Well, on the other hand, if the drop 8 zone is being run every game on us like it was last year, he will definitely be checking down many times per game and theoretically, we should have success with it.
Bottom line, I really just don't know what to expect from Leach. It's a totally different dynamic that I never thought would work here, but I am definitely trying to have an open mind about it. I do think he will need to do SOME adapting (though not wholesale) similar to what Spurrier did at South Carolina, once he realized he had a different kind of talent than at Florida.
If Leach tries to make us into what he made Wazzou, we won't succeed. We need to be a little more physical version of Texas Tech. We just aren't ever going to win track meets, no matter what Bo Bounds says about 'modern football'. Common sense coaches have known these things for years. There is always innovation, but the basics stay the same.
