:lol: Probably the best post of the 14k on this thread. Some of the jackasses here are so wrapped up in style points that they’ve forgetten how to add total yards.

Isn't the style of offense one favors merely a matter of taste? One of the reasons I stuck too long with Butters was that I liked the style of offense he said he wanted: power offense with road graders on the O-LINE. I have liked that since Lombardi and the Packers. Why is what law favors intrinsically better than the style I favor?

short answer: because that offense sucks and the coaches that use it are losers.

Longer answer: because it's a lot easier for a defense to not worry about reading pass or run and just guard the area between two tackles.

Mullen is better than that, it is harder to defend sideline-to-sideline than it is tackle to tackle. that being said they only have two defend tackle to tackle and about 7 yards deep making pass/run reads so much easier.

Defending sideline-to-sideline and 20-yard deep is much harder, and having to read run or pass or RPO is harder still.

You notice are yardage really piles up in the fourth quarter of most games when we finally open up the offense.

Caveat: if your O's are better than their X's, then anything can work. we could have run the triple-option, the power I, or the air raid, with tebow and harvin and they all would have worked.

Yeah, I only like it when it works. Then it's beautiful.

Reception shows how many yards the guy ran, not how far the pass was thrown.

Most of Harvins TDs were on four yard crossing routes, with 80 yards YAC.

I didn’t say “OWNING THE STATE”. I said: “Good progress. Not insignificant”. Assuming Avantae Williams to UF, that will be 5 of the top 17. Not yet where it needs to be, but good trend.

Was just perusing through the Rivals team rankings over the last several years. Clemson has been anything but dominant. As a matter of fact, they’ve been consistently right about where we are now.

scUM is a dumpster fire. No excuse for it even being close and no excuse for our list being so bottom heavy.

Frankly we should probably land about half of the top 25 and take almost no one outside of the top 50.

I don't care much about recruiting in other states. We should own Florida, especially right now.

Sounds good. If we get an OC who believes in attacking downfield and tempo instead of sideways passing and very slow offense, and we move to the ACC so we only have a two game season and dont need depth, it could work.

Oh yeah, and load up on like 50% of the 5 stars.
