[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 234558, member: 857"] Are you being sarcastic? Our offense clearly has quirky strategic benefits: [LIST=1] [*]High rated zone conversion rate. In the red zone the field is compressed limiting passing options. We are usually able to fire off the line/knock 'em back/punch it in b/c that's what we do all the time. We are really good at it and the plays hit faster than any other offense, period. [*]Crazy time-of-possession tires out the other team's defense while resting our defense. It also frustrates the other team's offense, which gets cold being on the sidelines. [*]It slows down the pace of the game by limiting possessions. Much like basketball, if the talent gap is large a lot teams want a high scoring back-and-forth game so their talent can emerge and create separation in the score. Our offense is analagous to the the Princeton offense, and is similarly stylized. Slow the game down, keep the margin compressed, hang around, then steal the win. [/LIST] Other offenses have their unique perks. Clemson's offense runs a lot of plays and tires out the other team's defense by # of plays. And they are good in the 2-minute drill because they are doing it all the time. However our offense--when working--is the perfect antidote for Clemson's (rests our D, keeps the game close, converts in the red zone, frustrates/cools down their offense etc). Right now the team's biggest issues are pass rush, DL depth (better but still a weak spot), and OL depth and lack of consistent play. Last year you could add to that a whole bunch of young and inexperienced skill players. If 1 or 2 of the big fast tall WRs we've been recruiting can make a move we'll have good skill guys with some experience around Justin this year. Line remains the question. [/QUOTE]
