. You can’t suddenly change your offense in the middle of a season. A power running team doesn’t wake up one day and suddenly decide they are going to run the spread.

This is BS. We didn't run straight up the middle against Florida. We used misdirection and even a couple trick plays. So why so vanilla vs Bama?

I can't take people seriously when they believe you either run the I formation or the spread and there is no in between.

Misdirection works when OL blocks. It all starts upfront. When the LOS is pushed back two yards in seconds, mis-direction won't help much.

Remember when the wider receiver, QB and RB all ran into each other?

We got dominated on the lines. Everybody was puckering the whole game.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Waaaaay too vanilla on offense.

Agreed against Auburn, and South Carolina we ran a lot of speed sweeps, zone reads out of shotgun gun and that would have helped last night spreading those fat Bama linemen it's coaching philosophy sure run I formation 1/5 plays not 4/5 plays.

Running trick plays and misdirection?

We lost 30-16. Our last td was close to garbage time. And you want to run trick-plays? You are as bad as Moxon in Varsity Blues wanting to run the oomp-d-oomp formation.

It's not BS. The trick plays against Florida? They were set up by successful running plays. If you ran trick p,ays against Bama they wouldn't have worked.

And we ran misdirection against Bama several times. They stuffed it almost every time.

the point is we are an I formation power run based offense. You can't just change that mid season. We have been doing more on offense than we have been in past years but it just isn't nearly enough. It's still very still very simple and basic

OUr coaches are still at first grade level when it comes to playing a more modern open football on offense. It's like they are trying to do something that is totally foreign to them when they try to do it. We operate at a fundamentally basic level when we try to implement any spread elements into our offense.

Either Cam needs to learn, if he is capable of it, or we need to hire an OC who can and will. Also MIles needs to stop hiring coaches who are joined at the hip with him in the idea of running a I formation based power run style.

The passing game does not need to be dependant on establishing the run out of the I formation first
