I disagree here. There were no TOP issues in a Leach offense. Many people think so because it?s a lot of passing, but the stats say differently. Leach passed a lot, but we did not run tempo or hurry-up. Leach would take most of the play clock to get off the next play. Also, so many of his passes were to running backs for just a few yards. We weren?t going on these 80 yard touchdown drives in just 5 plays while running the hurry-up. Instead, we would have a 80 yard drive with 13 plays (11 passes and 2 runs) that ate up clock.
