You will suck until you are good in two areas:
Defense
The Offensive Line
We are a no huddle spread team that is as likely to throw as we are to run, and every man on our staff believes this....

My favorite quote from that article:
"Another wrote, 'Anytime the thought pattern is, 'Let's just outscore them,' a defensive coordinator dies inside.'"
To add to this interesting thread, I would say whatever gets you closer to victory. I've been a DC for a spread team and two wing-t teams. It has nothing to do with the offensive system, but has everything to do with the philosophy. I coached on one wing-t team that was up-tempo, while another was all about ball control. On the up-tempo wing-t team, the HC was ALL about offense. On the ball control wing-t team, the HC was ALL about defense. Protect the D at all costs, but we were in every ball game - including playing a top 15 team in the nation. That would have never happened with the philosophy of the spread coach (up-tempo, Tony Franklin, throwing 90s all the time) or the up-tempo wing team.

After watching our state championships..
OFFENSE - The teams who started the playoffs with the FOLKS dem d1 players on offense got rings.
If my offensive can score 40, I should be able to play CAT defense. You know I got this cat, you got that cat.
Now in our 6A, the team with the better defense won, however the team with the better RB also won, the one that is down to Oregon, Bama or Georgia.
in 5A, the team with the Junior who is a 5 star QB who is committed to Clemson won, BLOW OUT STYLE against the best defense in the state.
in 4A, the team with 5 d1 players on offense won in blow out style.
in 3A, they are 6 time out of 8 try champs and there whole team is loaded so I can skip them.
now we did have an upset in 2A, but the 4 year starter at QB did.
So yea, you need a great defense, but be unable to score points and ummm...
