[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 121903, member: 265"] I agree. Running the TO from under center makes everything much more difficult for opposing Ds, especially in short yardage situations. I'm glad we do it that way. Oth, running the TO like we do is also hellishly difficult for QBs to learn. The reads are difficult and even the best QBs will miss 10- 15% of them. I can see why a team like MSU, with a QB like Prescott, would say, "Shoot, we have a BB already at QB. Let's just run him and let the good times roll." And - here's the kicker - when they are up against average teams that works. It's when they are in games with teams of equal or better talent that it doesn't. And, paradoxically, that is when our O gets better: the options, the complexity of the reads, the blocking schemes, and the speed of the thing when it is run right all negate advantages of talent. That's what I like about it. As that Canes fan I quoted said, "Our offense is set up to let our talented players beat the defense. Theirs is [I]designed[/I] to beat the defense." Yep. And that makes it fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
