Opening up the playbook for EWU

The playbook and scheme for Hawaii was very vanilla. It was a very plain and basic offense. That tells me the coaching staff wanted to find something simple and easy to help Lindquist adjust to the game in his first start. Perhaps the best example of this was moving the pocket on the first 3 drives to help reduce pressure on Lindquist and for him to have the time to find the open receiver.
The offense typically opens the playbook up more with each passing week, especially when installing a new offense like what we're doing this year. However, Miles wasn't around for spring camp and missed valuable reps early on when they were installing the offense for the first time. I don't think there is any issue with Miles knowing the plays inside and out, but I wonder if they'll design a vanilla game plan around Miles since he doesn't have the reps that Lindquist and Williams have. Of course, Miles will get the most reps this week, running with the first-team offense, but I'm not sure how sophisticated or developed the offense will be or how it'll compare to next week.
Guess we'll find out more tomorrow when the offensive coaches meet with the media.

BUT we have a QB that can complete a pass, the playbook cant be as shut as it was Saturday.
Either way it will be interesting to continue the preparations for Stanford.
Stuff like that and asking are we going to be as vanilla as we were against Hawaii or are we gonna see new shifts, screen passes, sweeps... you know, different wrinkles and different formations.
I don't trust anyone except Peters to play man defense, especially after watching Hawaii torch us on the opening drive.
Just hand the ball of 60 times and GTFO with the win.
