I really wish Locke would have stayed..

This offense is centered around the HB and the OL, the QB is more of a game manager which actually plays to Rogers strength in my opinion.
He won't be asked to carry the team, and I think he can be careful with the ball. This could be good for Will, except for stats, but overall it could be really good for him.
Leach was about to make adjustments. Look at the QBs he was after. He realized you gotta be able to do things other than throw it 50x
That offense went 25 of 36 for 361 and 6TD passes in taking UNC to OT (while also running for 288)
It went 40/53 for 395 and 3 TDs when the run game got shut down against James Madison. The offense is variable - and probably the closest to balanced as any we have ever run (30 passes/40 runs a game in '22)
Not to derail this thread too much, but Brandon Streeter was just fired at Clemson. If we have an offensive analyst position we may want to see if he'd be interested for a year.
Yeah he's very diverse and actually calls plays based on what the defense is giving. I like the fact Barbay games plan and calls plays to attack what the weakness of the defense is instead of just running the same offense week in and week out. He showed he can win running or throwing or both, now that's true balance.
I?ll allow it
That's not true. Everyone tried the drop 8 after Arky stopped us with it, then we started (painfully) beating it with long, boring short passes. After that teams played us different albeit still mostly zone unless they couldn't stop us. In 21 when we forced man Will killed them over the top. I think that was the main difference in his 21 and 22 season. Seemed like he couldn't do it in 22 like he did in 21. Whether that's an injury, no Polk or whatever is for others to argue about.
This is a great hire. Young fresh ideas. I like that Arnett has a vision of where were are going and is making it happen.
So how will he use Tulu?
