Balanced system?????Pro style teams can run out of singleback (ace tight, ace 3 wide, & ace 4 wide, etc) but still are not considered spread offenses. I've only ever heard of 2 types of Spread offenses. The Spread Option incorporates some form of a running game, just not out of "traditional" sets. It is still a pass first system. The true Spread has no running game, period. Check Hawaii, Texas Tech, NMSU, & North Texas. Yes, they still run some form of the "draw" to try and catch defenses off balance, but a running attack is NOT in the gameplan. Most true Spread teams substitute the running game with screens & quick outs. What's really mind boggling is that I haven't seen many of these types of plays from NT?? Is our QB's arm too weak to throw the quick out? Regarding screens, why can't we use Jmo more in these types of plays? Hell, it could be as simple as Dodge just doesn't use these types of plays too often.

Great post. One thing that can't be ignored about an "effective" running game is that it can eat up clock, protect a lead, and wear down a defense. You don't need to be a wishbone team to see the advantages.

One thing you have to realize is that the top teams in the nation can run if they have to. You don't see a lot of traditional I & pro form stuff with the FB being almost "eliminated" from todays game, but teams still run from specific ace formations. Pure spread offenses are being stopped by most of the top programs.

And in what way are you related to Mendoza? You've obviously never seen the Mean Green defense during DeLoach's tenure.

As much hell as this new coaching is catching the last few weeks, we really are all very happy to have Dodge and be out of the Dickster era. The last couple of seasons were just god awful. You gotta feel for the Ags.

Here is my thought on this: UNT is technically still not "out" of winning the Belt. Dodge must think Meager gives NT the best chance to win. As much as we all think otherwise, Dodge does not. I would be willing to bet, as soon as the Belt title is officially out of NT's grasp, Vizza will start from there on out.

Did I cause your panties to get in a wad? Jesus H. Christ??? My board activity will never cease, MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Don't forget they have not one player or coach on that team with the last name Dodge. So we now know they can't be that good!

Sarcasm?

Was it a certain Coach Ditka? Were we playing a hurricane?

LOL!!!

Hey, at least we made the Pillow Fight of the week!

How about we play the Ivy League schools, then venture over to the SWAC. Maybe even schedule some D3 schools like Mt.Union, Austin College, & Trinity University. We'lL bE 12-0 and pWNED evRy body!!!!11111

Ah yes, I'll never forget those days at the "other" place.

How about one that juggles the ball every time he receives a kick. In his defense, his hands may be tired from all the kickoffs he's been fielding.

It's funny how many people here think Dodge is above any type of criticism. You're "against the mighty Dodge if you question any of his decisions!". "You secretly want Dickey back if you don't follow like sheep!". "Give him a break, this is Dickey's team. The first year means 0-12 is perfectly OK."

People love to throw this JJ argument on here. I loved the Jimmy era Cowboys, but lets not forget these facts: 1. Jimmy worked during a time where Free Agency did not exist. 2. Jerry's open wallet policy meant more in the era of NO SALARY CAP. 3. What did the Jimster ever accomplish in Miami that Shula could not before Don was forced out of Miami? 4. Herschal Walker is Jimmy's best friend to this day.

Is it basketball season yet?

I will give TD this much. He will do it his way, regardless. You definitely have to like that.

It's become the crazy Uncle no one wants to talk about. You only get to see him at family reunions or funerals.

Have you tired playing on cupcake level? You won't sniff that on Heisman unless you're crazy enough to play 15 minute qtrs!!

Not a bad idea. You leading the way?

Howie did this last week as well. Did he get this from other teams or did FAU expose our lack of "in-game" adjustments? I don't remember OU or SMU doing this.

Charlie Weiss should be fired because he started a freshman at---Oh wait, HE SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!
