Leach is doing an outstanding job this year, and of course has some great talent with Harrell and Crabtree. The OL is really helping out too. I just have to think that somewhere along the line they will run out of gas or stumble. Leach and Stoops know each other, and the other's tendencies. Advantage either way? I'm rooting for Texas Tech, though I have no real dog in the fight.

brophy,
To this day I still don't think Tubs knows what the Air Raid is! No there is no siren. Maybe there's an idea though, they could play the sound of a car running down the road with a flat tire because thats been how effective the offense has been.
I think if Leach gets them up and through the OU game, they may well win it all. SEC folks are already talking smack about how an SEC defense will shut Tech down.

I think when brophy said "TT" I think he meant Texas Tech rather than Tommy Tuberville.

true airraid and true run and shoot are just passing teams with a wishbone mentality. execute a few plays to perfection just throwing the bal. have very few pass protections so you can focus on individual skill time.

The wait for this game is killing me, I can't believe they don't play until next week.

That's a pretty good way to look at it I guess. Didn't think about it that way, but in listening to Franklin he says that you have to have a few things you do, like screens, that you do regardless, even if they don't always work in order to be successful. Screens for instance help your OL be successful, and help start the wearing down process of the DL. Same as Wishbone teams pounding away all day long even if they just get a couple of yards...eventually something breaks loose. |

the thing about screens is they are the running game on the outside in any spread offense. maybe you only get 2 or 3 yards it is still a successful play.
homer smith said a passing team should throw 4 to6 screens per quarter.

Sad to say this as a DW guy, but I enjoy watching TT play. Leach and Spurrier are my favorite 2 college coaches out there.

I think this is a concept that escaped Tuberville, and he instead forced Franklin to contrive a running game. |

If they can beat this OU team at home on senior night then they are something truly special.

The story goes the reason Leach was brought to OK was because Stoops hated coaching against the offense. He thought it was the hardest offense to stop. One of the differences this time around is TT can run the ball. I do not expect Harrel to get the type of time he got against OSU but TT is playing on a different level right now on O.
The wishbone comparision I think is very good. Even more so when it appears (I hate only being able to see part of the field) TT runs a good deal of double screens. They also are seem to fake screens a bit. I know they have went the direction of running concepts while throwing screens. Makes it much harder for teams to read the screen.
One of the things I love about TT is their WR play. The guys catch the ball and get vertical NOW. They are picking up 3-4 yards just by turning hard and exploding up field. They do not drop balls.
With 2 weeks to get ready for each other this could be very very interesting.

Sorry, but I got sidetracked when I thought you directed a question at me, and I misunderstood the question. |

Missouri was a different bird, they use unbalanced a lot. Would you not shift the line with it and stay in coverage, anticipating better run fits since that is a big part of why they line up that way?
