Are we really going full-on air raid?

I don't think you sign a RB like Fletcher. Hit the portal for a center and Cohen, and then decide not to run the ball. If I was a guessing man, I would assume we want to throw for 300 a game, and run for 150 +. One thing I agree with Mario. You have to have a top 20 offense and defense to be a legit title contender.

The recent breakdown that was posted by someone who knows Dawson described it as Hall Mumme meets Gus Malzahn. I think that's accurate. Air Raid passing concepts with some gap/power run schemes mixed with outside zone.

You know I already mentioned this but my biggest takeaway was that Dawson adapts his offense to available personnel. That’s the most encouraging aspect to me.

I am wondering if we are going the way of Georgia who hired a guy in Monkin from an air raid coaching tree (so I have heard) but he adjusted his offensive scheme to also incorporate power run concepts to fit their oline strengths. Also employed multiple tight ends.

You can get the best of both worlds in a hybrid system that incorporates power run schemes with air raid passing and get more balanced. Mario is recruiting behemoths who want to maul people. Going fully air raid will not take advantage of this and it might turn off the type of olinemen Mario likes to recruit. Any thoughts?

People are full mode knee jerk.
Even Sonny Dykes/Garret Riley didn’t go full air raid.
Most air raid/ higher tempo teams don’t have a power back. But when they do the results are amazing.
Cam Akers went nuts the first few games under Briles until he got hurt.

And tcu last year well..

That’s not how Dawson does business. He had more runs than passes per game in 21 and only 7 more passes a game in 22. Todays air raid uses more run out of the spread than how it originated. L Riley is the same, the run is a big part of his o.

Dawson is pretty **** balanced.

I was hearing some complaints from Houston fans (not sure how accurate) that his preferred run scheme are draws.

Not really from what I saw at least. There are definitely some delayed runs, but there's a lot of inside power and outside zone. Maybe they're saying the inside runs take longer to develop? It's definitely not Veer or jet sweep based.

My thoughts are… TEMPO with routes confusing secondaries play zone with wheel routes all day
