There seems to be an opinion that I've noticed on here by some about our offense. I am of an opinion (take it for what it is) that we have turned into a "pass happy" offense. A few things:

1.) What is the spread core principle? The spread is designed to LITERALLY make a defense be HONEST and not cheat! The key is the safety position! Spreads are designed (whether by a run core or pass core) to make safeties be honest and not cheat. By doing this you must have guys who can make plays in the space provided to create 1 on 1 match ups. I could give a rip what Bo Bounds says but we HAVE THESE GUYS! We have the greatest QB in MSU history slinging the ball around. So what's the problem? Why are we averaging no more points than we are in these last games (dating back to Arky last yr)?

a.) Defenses do NOT respect our passing game. The reason they don't is because most spread gunning teams actually stretch the field vertically! We do not!

Most defensive schemes we face are cover 1. Meaning 1 high safety. LSU actually went cover 0 (no high safety at all). Offenses that DO stretch the field would drool over this coverage(s)! I'm a Bible thumper & an absolute Jesus freak, I believe though roughly in the concept of "fruit". We bear the fruit of a team STUCK in a rut of no identity based on what defenses show us. This is a HUGE problem because our best teams were teams that had an identity! We need to find out who we are on offense and if we are going to be a passing team (as fruits have shown), then we need to stretch the field vertically but we CANNOT because we have pass pro problems. So what do we do?
