Or least exciting as it may be perceived as one in the same:
JoMo's "I'm outsmarting the DC. I'll get the play in with 5 seconds to go on the play clock".
Croom's West Coast Offense - 2 to 5 yard passes and must get yac,
The "Air Raid" ( See first two choices for description)
Are we talking State only or college as a whole? If we are going as a whole?I?m going Texas circa Vince Young years, he was the majority of the offense, but damn he was fun to watch
Q b run up the middle on third and nine
State only. I so wanted the "Air Raid" to work, but it is so predictable and boring to watch. JMO and have seen a lot of bad offenses at State since my 1st in person game in 1963.Quote:

If you eliminate damn near 40% of your throwable field then it makes shit easy to cover. Get a QB who will attempt to attack every area of the field over one who can't even read correctly half the time.
Dak in 2015 is a good of passing offense as I've seen at State.
1994s team was a really good offense. It was a balance attack that could run you over. Then when teams stepped up to stop the run. Over the top to Moulds.
We had 2 bruising backs in Davis and Bouie. Plus Fred McCray on occasion. Then a future NFL, Eric Moulds running go routes. Or just flat out making a play when a play was needed. Chris Jones opposite Moulds was good too. So many talented players on that team. ....and a coach that knew how to play football.
Dak or Fitz QB draw on 3rd or 4th and 10 ****
And Nicky Fitz. But watching Brandon Holloway up the middle was hard to stomach.Quote:

Mullen's offense when he was actually engaged. That offense with an actual play caller like malzahn is exciting. The game against Auburn when our assistant coaches didn't let JoMo call the plays was beautiful. 2018.

The Boobie interview at the end of the video is what having fun playing ball looks like. We need to get AD more involved with the program.
Yes. Imagine that offense with a more innovative play caller than Mullen. And someone who put all he had into the program instead of job searching and not recruiting.Quote:

Sparky Woods in the Jackie era was pretty good with some good talent to run it. It is still a LOS game and league and that still wins despite what many think. Just see what our DL does even now. That is how you win games.
The 14 and 15 O with Dak behind center was hard to beat.
Fun offense. Walter Packer was electric!Quote:

Nothing was more electrifying than when Norwood or Discenso got the ball. But the 2014 offense was the best we have had.
Either Rocky's veer or Emery/Bond's Red Dog Triple Option
Yep, I knew I was forgetting another one. He had some athletes to work with too. People forget how physical those teams were.Quote:

Then waxed om in Jackson to close out. Didn?t have a winning record I don?t think but when all cylinders were firing that was one bad*** offense.
Bob Tyler's Veer
Rockey @ QB, then Bruce Threadgill
Walter Packer, Dennis Johnson, Terry Vitrano in the same backfield!
Melvin Barkum and Stan Black (before he moved to DB) at receiver
Plenty of others these are just the first that come to mind
If I remember correctly a lb Keo Coleman got emebaressed in the pond bowl in the last Egg in Jackson getting a om td’s over him by over running the play. Then in that beautifully cold game first series in Jackie’s first year the om qb ran an option and Keo put a concussion on him and Jackie’s offense took over. I was really happy not for the concussion but with Keo redeeming his self after the year before. What a great first EB back at Davis Wade. It was a beautiful day for JWS and his “DOGS”.Quote:

Our 1994 offense with Michael Davis and Kevin Bouie. Derrick Taite at QB. And Moulds at receiver. A lot of talent on the field. Keffer McGee was 3rd string TB on that team. And Fred McCrary played in the NFL and brought a lot to the table.
Jackie started off with Sleepy and Micheal Davis. That was a backfield. Will always wonder what could've been if Sleepy never got hurt.Quote:

Of course Bama was loaded that year so we wouldn't have won the West.Quote:

Well I was at both and Still remember sleepy making that turn and his knee just went. Everybody in the stadium knew it was bad when it happened. I still would've like to see Sleepy face that Bama D.Quote:

Likely cost us an SEC title
That UF game was 92. We smoked a ranked Spurrier and heisman Mathews QB that night 30-6. Sleepy got hurt and the season was crippled as you said. The TX game was JWS game 1 at home in 91. That 92 team had some freak athletes and was ready to roll. Even with Sleepy going down, we gave Bama their toughest game in 92 when they won NC. Had them beat at home till Barker scored late in 4th. People forget how good some of Jackie's teams were. Go watch some of his teams play. Big, physical tough players. We bullied everyone.Quote:
