[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 852664, member: 1414"] The only thing I'll push back on is your characterization of Air Raid offenses as more explosive than efficient. If you mean like OFFICIALLY Air Raid offenses, I'd say just the opposite. They focus on high percentage, low risk throws. Their QB's whole job is completions. Not yards, not touchdowns, not attacking the field, completions. If he completes a pass, he has done his job. I'd argue the OVERWHELMING majority of their throws are 6 yards or less when the ball is caught, which makes it spiritually akin to the flexbone. THe offense should keep you ahead of the chains dependably, and then if your ball carrier can make anything happen, well that's gravy. IF you're using "Air Raid" generically to mean "pass happy offense" (and I understand that a LOT of people do), then yeah, I agree. To wit, look at pass completion percentage stats for this year: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/individual/755[/URL] "Pure" Air Raid guys (and yes, I'm counting Oklahoma, though Riley has veered from the Pure Waters in recent years) are number 1, 2, 7, and 9 in the country in completion percentage. (maybe more, i'm not sure what Purdue or South Alabama run) [/QUOTE]
