Also Chip might have one or 2 national titles (2012, when they shite the bed against Stanford in OT and could have played ND for it all) if he was more pass heavy with the spread. In his losses he was adamant about running the ball even when the run game wasn’t working but they were throwing on secondaries with success

It wasn’t a variation, it was straight air raid for OU in 2000. Mike Leach was the OC the year before and OU kept the offense.

The Single Wing is not the spread.
Pretty simple. People think spread is all 4 wide things. It isn’t The Spread is a lazy term used by people to call offenses the same.

Meyer and Mahlzahn use a single win and incorporate some spread and Air RAID items. But it’s a power Single Wing at heart

Jesus Christ.

Meyer's teams at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State all ran the spread, chiefly utilizing a run-first variation most similar to Rich Rodriguez's formerly at West Virginia with tweaks to fit the offensive personnel, for example Meyer's first two years at Florida skewed toward a drop-back passing attack led by Chris Leak, while Tim Tebow led an option run-based spread (as did Alex Smith at Utah). Using this offense, he has won two BCS titles, won the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship, has become the first coach to lead a BCS non-AQ conference team (Utah) to a BCS bowl, has coached a Heisman trophy winner (Tim Tebow), and has graduated a player who became a number one overall pick in the NFL draft (Alex Smith).

Hey idiot go read this. It’s about the 5th question asked

HARRY: Really? You often hear coaches say that nothing is new; that everything has been used before. Yet when the Wildcat showed up in Miami last year, it was like the NFL freaked out. But it was old-time single-wing football, which is lot of what you do here. What was the genesis of your offense? MEYER: Part of it is single wing, yeah. I would say there's a spread element and a single-wing element. We've combined them both. We want to have a run component.

It is not single wing at heart. They use some single wing like concepts, but it’s not based on true single wing. I’d say it’s more wing T at heart. And I consider single wing and wing T to be completely different offensive systems

Read this. Figure out what a spread option is, then shove it up your arse.

I think everyone’s definitions are all fricked up.

The broadest definition is the “spread” offense, which basically means your taking your traditional 2 back, 1 te set, and “spreading” some or all of these guys out wide.

Air Raid is an offensive philosophy run out of the spread. Same with chip kelly’s blur offense at Oregon. Urban meyer’s offense and the offense Texas ran during vy days was out of the spread as well, but these offenses incorporated zone read, whereas true air raid replaces hand offs with quick screens and passes to the rb.

Ahhh yeah didn’t realize it’s just the OP that’s (incorrectly) refuting almost everyone in the thread.
