What type of offense does Standford run BTW?
Pro style.
If I am not mistaken, one of the more popular excuses used in RR's defense is that there is a lack of talent.Quote:

all this talk about the spread not working/ never working i guess requires forgetting that illinois just went to the rose bowl and NW lighting up the big ten a decade ago?
more, offense really isnt the team's problem. RR has a rep of offense, and since the team has sucked i guess people just make the conclusion that the offense therefore sucks. its the defense.
and as for blaming the defense on the offense not staying on the field? c'mon. it doesnt matter if its the first drive or the last, the defense sucks every single time. maybe the offense compounds it, but the defense sucks in its own right. no doubt about that.
Take this to the bank:
The spread will work anywhere, IF it is a "pass oriented" spread with a defense to back it up.
DickRod's spread will not work--and he totally disregards defense--because it is a run-oriented spread.
Do I know what I'm talking about?
Fuck no. I make shit up as I go along. But it always seems to work out in my favor, except for that time I found myself in Bangladesh with Rupaul and James Darren.
