Yeah BostonBengal, #21 Texas Tech is leading #4 Cal: 38-17 in the middle of the third quarter. That may work against the #4 team in the nation but it won't work against Ole Miss. :dis: This type of offense will never work in the SEC. I told LSU the same thing fifteen years ago when stupid people wanted to hire Spurrier, and we know how miserably his fun and gun offense failed in the SEC.
Techs problem is not a running game. It is a lack of a formidable defense. Tech's spread offense is not easy to defend against. Teams with superior athletes have the best chance to stop it. If Leach ever puts as much effort into his defense as he does in his offense watch out.
Yeah. The #4 Cal team that the poll voters had no respect for and didn't think them worthy of a Rose Bowl bid. The #4 Cal team that is down their top 2 wideouts because of injury. The #4 Cal team that does not have an All-Conference selection on defense. YES that team! Because this Texas Tech team, that put up 70 points in a win vs Nebraska ALSO LOST 27-24 to New Mexico and BARELY BEAT SMU 27-13!!! I'm VERY much on target with my examples used. Now, how about you look at facts before giving me a --> :dis: <-- ...Now, please, go to bed, the adults are talking....
Don't hurt his feelings....He doesn't feel it anyway...He's been beaten up so badly, the ref won't stop the fight because he keeps staggering back into the ring... Don't forget how "close" he is to someone on the BOS! Woe is us should we question the edicts from upon high!
The thing you have to look at with teams like Texas Tech, is that the only way these guppies can swim with the big sharks is to have a gimmick. Navy and the option, Texas Tech and the pass, when you have something unique, its harder for teams to prepare for you. And you have to do this when you have low level talent. Ive always been curious what a navy flexbone option or a leach air it out passing game would look like with talent like LSU has... granted, you run a team like that and you wont get any good recruits, but it would be interesting to watch. The option and the air-it-out offenses are the most dangerous around, and the key, in my opinion, is to intergrate these into your offense, like the utah, shotgun-option offense. Now, when it comes to leach, i think, with a team like LSU's, he WOULD run more. He would still be pass first, but he would run alot more. He doesnt have any runnng backs at Texas tech, he wont every have any, because no runnin gback worth a sh*t is gonna go to a passing team. A balanced offense can be the key to winning both on the field and in the recruiting game. That post was all over the place i know, but f*ck it, shut up and read...
