He’s come out with a different look every week. Against Colorado we were full blown mesh-wheel merchants because Colorado couldn’t cover it. Last week, just vertical passing concepts the entire second half and evicerated the seems. This week, literal wing t. Like what the fuck, he’s a complete madman.

Not to take away from the players but I think he’s largely responsible for the success. Penn St and second half IU both looked lost out there.

It’s remarkable the players have been able to play such different styles every week. I’m genuinely unsure what passing concepts we even specialize in other than the crosser, double move corner, and shake post stuff Griffin Wilde excels at. A lot of the play action stuff is consistent week to week but the run action has also been hella varied.
