Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4144762, member: 749"] While all of Mora's hires speak to a new professionalism and a much needed commitment to make this rebuild succeed, let's be real; the new OC, Nick Charlton, is the key piece to our improvement puzzle. Based on what he described on a Zoom call, he's a proponent of using multiple sets with both pro style and spread concepts and stresses protections both with the O-Line and RB's. He's a fan of using running backs in the passing game--and a huge fan of using multiple tight ends to move the offense vertically with slants, screens and seam routes--as contrasted to the horizontal game we've been playing for far too long with lateral runs by speed challenged backs, and those dreaded bubble screens that hold the record for gaining the fewest yards in college football. Charlton previously announced the obvious, that "Football’s all about the QB. You have to have a good one. And of course the O-Line". So let's see how that works out. But apropos of all that, I was told by an "insider" to pay attention to the University of Utah's offense under Andy Ludwig for a glimpse of what we might look like. Whether that was good intelligence or not, I'll be paying special attention to the Rose Bowl. [/QUOTE]
