Beating guys deep is as much a function of speed as it is design and execution of the offense. Getting safeties and corners to look where they shouldn't. Or set up a certain look where they begin to anticipate something, then give that same look a different design to win deep.
We had plenty of chances deep this past year and didn't execute. That's the one area of our offense I never liked. I'm still stunned at the amount of offensive success we were able to have under Mullen without ever having a deep threat on our team to worry about. That should change this year.
This is why I think Moorhead has a chance to be very successful here. Mullen didn't maximize us but he got us a lot better. We are never going to get the top talent. We may get some, but we will always be behind the big boys in talent acquisition. Means we need an innovator and a thinker on offense to scheme our ways to victory. We can beat the big programs, but it's rarely going to be by going toe to toe with them. We are going to have to play smarter and execute more efficiently. We did as much as we could in that regard under Mullen. I think the ceiling for those things is higher under Moorhead.
