Yeah and the announcers are smoking them for it..... Basically calling it a gimmick and saying it won't work.

Well they are averaging over 30 ppg running it 15 games in.

Yes. They are barely getting by with five star talent across the board in the dang PAC. They run the closest thing to a pure Air Raid outside of Leach. That offense absolutely SUCKS. It's dated and wasn't that great when it wasn't.

I think Chip Kelley is who killed the air raid. He created the super uptempo spread that made every D get thinner and more athletic. That, plus the proliferation of spread making every D run nickel all the time as their base D, = air raid isn't that much of a matchup issue
Fact is Leach could update it really easily: 1) Zone read, 2) RPO to punish LBs with responsibilities to cover the run and get back to a zone, 3) another run play or 2. pull a tackle, have the RB be the lead blocker for the QB, something. A lot is said about a mobile QB, and no doubt Leach needs to get over himself and let the QB move, but it's really hard to find an accurate QB with wheels so I can't expect him to be able to recruit that.
3-4 more plays would break the 3-8 and make D's pick their poison. You'd still have a really small playbook you can rep and rep and rep till it's perfect like Leach wants. BUT Leach apparently likes losing his way so we'll keep losing.
