And looking strictly at offensive output doesn't really tell you anything about how that effects the wins and losses. A ball control offense grinding down opponents isn't necessary going to score more points than a quick strike offense. But what's the impact on the team's defense when it's on the field all day?
And Osborne' players.Solich 1999 offense...34.2 ppg....392.2ypg
Solich 2000 offense...41.5ppg...459.9ypg
I'll take Solich's offense with Crouch
We don't run our QBs much at all, and all 3 are hurt to varying degrees. That doesn't seem smart.Running your quarterback that much is not a good idea in 2022. No one does this, there is a reason it's that way. You think you're smarter than all the coaches in FBS besides the ones that have no other option like the service academies?
We once scored 51 against Colorado.I was not expecting for someone to use the "scoring more doesn't tell you anything about winning" defense but here we are.
Read option and Flexbone option are only the same insofar as they have a mesh point. Past that, the blocking schemes and overall philosophies are far different.We have been running option football most years. In fact most teams do some form of option now and I havent seen a single person say they was a completely non option offense. I think most people want a balanced offense. We have seen offenses that relied mostly on run. Inevitably that gets shut down because there will always be some teams that will force you to try and beat them in the air and it gets really ugly. Everyone is pushing back on the idea that we go even further into a rushing shell and limit the areas where we can beat defenses. Its def ok to be a run heavy offense but you cant be just that in p5 and expect to compete at the highest levels.
Players are bigger & stronger today. Running a qb the way Osborne did is not smart. Our qb issues are due to a poor oline.We don't run our QBs much at all, and all 3 are hurt to varying degrees. That doesn't seem smart.
Osborne was one of the last P5 coaches to run his QBs like he did. Was he not smart?
Not only that, look at the decline in Solich years and increase during the Callahan yearsYeah, both those stretches started on equal footing. And with the proper players for the intended system.
Osborne wasn't smart. Really.Players are bigger & stronger today. Running a qb the way Osborne did is not smart. Our qb issues are due to a poor oline.
You just like thinking you can bully people with your weird opinions and want to cry when it doesn't go your way.Everyone having to read your arguments with other posters.
