If Leach decides that it's more important to prove one way or another that the unadulterated Air Raid works in the SEC throwing the ball 80%+ of the time, I think this will go poorly. But I have to assume a smart guy like Leach will admit that he was wrong about the SEC being no different and tweak the offense. Otherwise, he will join the list of coaches whose schemes always worked right up until they didn't (see, e.g., Joe Lee Dunn).
Scary stuff. What will win out, pride or sanity? Is he too deep after 20 years of his system to change? We will see. By the way, the great ones always evolve. Look no further than Nick Saban. He has completely revamped his offensive philosophy over the years. Don't be Blockbuster, be Amazon.
