The problem for teams that run the NHHU offense, is that when it is ineffective, there isn't anything else to fall back on, as the players were recruited specifically for that type of offense and defense, conversly. Gus said today at media days that they intentionally recruited that way. Last year at the barn, when the NHHU offense broke down, it was a real trainwreck. The can't line up in the "I" and play smashmouth football. It's all about timing and finesse. A short pass is considered a run. So, if a player (especially the QB is off), it throws the whole thing off. Also, it's a rhythm. After all that hurry up, if a long play is incomplete, the receivers have to run all the way back and expect to do it again. Stop the run, which we do easily, and the endurance is challenged.
Many on this thread have said the main note, that their defense will be on the field a lot, and that is true. I say a great, pounding running game like we have, long drives controlling the clock are devastating as well. Not only to the defense, but to the rhythm of the offense, as well. I haven't seen a NHHU offensive team win a NC yet, or even beat an SEC team.
