This season makes #27 as a TROJAN FB ticket holder. As much fun as the explosiveness of the spread can be, nothing in all of these 27 years has been as much fun as the way we dominated the Southland by lining up and smashing our opponents in the face for 4 quarters. When we held up 4 fingers after the 3rd in those days, it was for a reason...we meant it and we OWNED the 4th. Can we do that again? Can we line up and smash our opponents in the teeth and have them so beat down by the 4th that they don't have a chance? I don't know, but if "Pro Style" brings that back. I'm the first one on board.
Unfortunately it don’t matter what type of offense we run if we don’t have the QB position etc well established,,, that’s still a major concern. Online depth is going to be concern #1.

I agree, that o-line back on those days was the best to every play here.

We had a pretty good O-Line back in the mid-late 80's...although we weren't to good at pass blocking and were smaller than place kickers and punters today lol. All joking aside we had some great O-Lines on those 1-AA teams. Kerry Jenkins, Bob Hall and on and on. The 2008-09 O-Line was the best in recent years imo. Tyler Clark, Danny Franks, Steven Adams etc were really good.

I see no need to start a new post just for this, but your beloved spread offense is gone.
I don't mind it. Neal Brown had already changed it up. He emphasized the run game A LOT more. I think you're going to see something very similar to what UAB/App State currently have... the run will compliment the pass, TE's will be used much more... it'll be an offense where you might see 300+ yards passing, or you might see 250+ yards rushing. I enjoyed having a strong run game. We were RBU not too long ago. I'm looking forward to some power football.

I'm not a spread offense person, or a Power I person, or a wishbone person, I'm a whatever works person. You know what the change in offense style tells me? It tells me HCJS and staff are actually out there coaching, assessing talent and what can be done with it, and coming up with ideas to make the best of it. Now, whether those are good ideas or not, we'll see when the season starts, but at least we know right now that they give a damn, and that's something the team has desperately lacked for the last three years.

Great coaches adapt to the talent they have. If we have the talent to run a different scheme that is more suited to them great!! Adapt or die
