It all starts with the quarterback in shotgun reading the defense. Is it "one-high" or "two-high?" One safety or two? Or no safeties? Meyer's spread also likes count defenders in terms of "plus" or "minus." If the offense has one more blocker than the defense has players, you are "plus one." If you have six defenders in a certain area, you have to make sure you have an equal number of blockers. Pretty easy?

If you watch Meyer's teams in action and understand his philosophy, Meyer's offense is a run-first offense. After reading the defense, most of the time you run the ball, whether that is up the middle or on an option. They avoid throwing unless the defense allows it.

And you think our offense is more complex than this? How many reads do we require our QBs to make before every snap? How about post snap?

And LSU isn't? shite, there were games this year where we didn't throw the ball 15 times.

I'm not sure how any of this shows that our offense is more complex than that.
