you think? while i'm ok with that in a way, it does pigeon hole his offense; shut down the QB and game over. he did it to Louisville.

a lot of these spread first teams are not multifaceted. they may spread the D out but they overly depend on one player. I think a well run multiple offense, one that can indeed spread the field but also present a very strong ability to run the football is the best of both worlds. it also allows for changing the pace of the game with long clock consuming drives.

Which is exactly what Herman wants to do on offense but he doesn't have the OL/RB talent to do so, so he has adapted his offense to his personnel.

This is exactly what he did at Ohio State as the OC. He is a power run out of spread sets guy.

True, but I didn't see that last night. Ward ate them up through the air. Was near perfect with intermediate passes minus a few drops. The RB ran well. Ward ran very little in the first half. They avg 280 across the OL, so they are not going to pound you

Of Herman's last four offenses, this year is the only one where he's been ranked higher in pass yards per game than rush yards.
