Your long north division nightmare is finally over.

    I know this was meant in jest, but it's actually one of the first things I thought about ... CUOG! won't be a Duck problem anymore.

    If WSU was smart, they’d hire Harrell.

    Big if

    His name's a lot less synonymous with Leach though.

    Yes I know he played under assistant coach Leach and coached under Leach).

    This is a pretty good option for them.

    Inside USC hates Harrell but Scott hates everyone these days and USC should NOT be an Air Raid school anyway.

    However Harrell may think he can replace Helton. USC is no WSU but still

    They have a vision of what a USC offense should be and it's not the Air Raid.

    It's elitist but also mostly true. When you recruit at the level SC should be able to recruit to you shouldn't have to go Air Raid.

    It's a whole new world down there, though.

    It's a tailback U thing

    If you think Husky fans are anchored to the past follow USC guys on twitter. And they really HAVE a past

    But with those receivers its a great offense as long as Jimmy Lake isn't on the other side

    Air raid is common now. The Saints basically run it in the NFL. You can run air raid and still run the ball a good amount. Less men in the box, it might even be better. It is better if you don’t have a great OL that can maul the opponent.
    Yeah I don't disagree. Spreading teams out to run is valuable and smart. Throwing the ball in an offense that gets people open is valuable and smart. The Air Raid has some real advantages when done well.

    Most Air Raid coaches are completely clueless about defense though.

    Harrell only ran the ball 9 times a game like leach

    Air raid isn't spreading out to run

    Its spreading out to pass

    And its the kill your QB offense. USC almost ran out

    I don’t think practicing against it is good for a defense either. Your scout teams are also guys that were recruited to play in the air raid so you don’t get a good look.

    I don’t like the air raid, but it can be done well. Is what LSU doing considered the air raid? I can’t keep up. Basically the best offenses are spread types. LSU still uses a TE and I think good TE’s are extremely valuable when used correctly.

    LSU has a great running back and they use him. They also throw to him

    Burrows runs too. He gets a lot of first downs

    But look at the LSU O line.

    Elite
