What's going to be our identity on offense?

For years it seems like this team has not had a identity on offense. We have just thrown a bunch of things on the wall and hoped they would stick. I don't think you can be successful in college football without one. What type of identity do you think we will have under Lashlee?

Tempo.

Speed, speed & more speed, in both the run game & pass game.

Sonny Dykes TTech/SMU Air Raid Passing scheme + Malzahn Arkansas/Auburn Rushing attack.

Unrelenting attacks vs Defenses, force them to commit to selling out to stopping one aspect of the offense & then kill'em with the other.

Our biggest issue has been pace of play, with both Richt & Enox we moved at snail speed & had literally one of the worst 3rd down offenses in the nation ranked in the low hundreds. The only way to change that is to pickup the pace & crack Defenes open with tempo.

We either make teams run into a buzz saw when they play us or we die trying, the 3 & out locomotive needs to die in order for us to finally turn the corner.

Our identity should be attack until they break & when they break attack some more.

Up tempo. Spreading the field. Relatively balanced between run and pass. Quick passes.

Do we have the YAC WRs to be successful doing this?

Close thread. Won't find a better answer than this.

1000%. I watched that SMU v Memphis game this year and was ****ed wondering why Miami refused to play that type of offense. Had no idea, until I watched that game, how well and how often SMU ran the ball.

Now we have that same Offense you were watching. I bet you were hyped when you found out we landed Lashlee

Can't be fast for the sake of being fast. Tempo needs to have a purpose behind it.

Look at Leach against Washington this (and just about every )year. His QB went 48-62 but for only 300 yards and their RB only had 10 carries. They ended up scoring 13 points. He got sacked 5 times and got picked off twice.

That's the extremist version of the Air Raid, he's the only one who runs it that way. They don't actually use tempo as much as they more so just throw the ball every snap.

Lashlee's offense still produced a RB that rushed for 1,276yds & 23TD's at 5.2 yards per carry, while simultaneously having a WR lead the nation in receptions & top 10 in yards & TD's, plus 2 additional WR's catch more than 40+ passes.

Whenever people hear Air Raid they assume it's Leach's Air Raid, but none of the Air Raid coaches or disciples throw it as much as he does without the balancing it with the run game. He has a 80/20 -90/10 Pass to run ratio, the SMU system that Lash ran is more 55/45 - 60/40, way more running & way more distinct play calling.

It's why Lincoln Riley & Josh Heupel have had success because they took the Leach passing scheme & combined with a high powered Spread rushing attack & it made their offense virtually impossible to stop unless you simply have a significant talent advantage.

Going Tempo isn't just throwing it 80 times a game, you can go Tempo while still pounding the rock, you just won't see long developing outside zone runs like we ran under Enox that always got blown up in the backfield.

lashlee will definitely run. He still has Malzahns principles also and Malzahn runs the ball.
