As a curiosity I pulled up some old highlights of the 96 UF team and it would be considered an antiquted Les Miles type of offense by today's standards (not quite to that extent)

Seems like the majority of the plays they're running an offset I formation in the backfield

How times have changed

1995 was 25 years ago. Would be like comparing 1988 football to football in the 60’s.

Spurrier didn’t like the shotgun

But the route concepts, and his philosophy of throwing the ball first, getting the defense on their heels, and then running the ball was revolutionary for a power conference team. Only the Houston’s and BYU’s of the world did that prior to Spurrier.

I seem to remember Spurrs had his QBs throw to spots and not look at WRs.

Dan Patrick interviewed Mike Leach the other day. He asked him what the next offensive innovation would be. Leach said in effect, what goes around comes around. "Nobody ever stopped the wishbone when it was executed well."
