Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Perez described the Roadrunner offense as a highly-adaptable spread RPO attack. At times they were heavily-reliant on quarterback Frank Harris' arm and at others they ran the ball over and over again. While it may be triggering to some Oregon fans, Perez cited the success of plays run out of the pistol formation as a key component as well. "What we saw a lot this year was that once they get the defense on their heels a little bit, they're going to push the tempo to not let them sub or to let them get set," he said "Just go no-huddle and call the game from the sideline. I think that's a big part of why he likes to be on the sidelines during the games." "He's a really good recruiter. He's going to get after it," he said. "He knows how to talk to these guys. That's to me one of the bigger aspects you want out of your offensive coordinator because recruiting is the lifeblood of any program. You have to buy the groceries if you're going to cook the meal, right? You can listen to the entire Autzen Audibles 22-minute podcast conversation at the bottom of the article. I see similarities with him and Dilly.

Well that and as long as it isn't used like Cristobal where he really saw the pistol as the spread offenses version of an i-formation, which it isn't. The pistol under MC was super predictable... Always... Always went right into the A-gap. So if the pistol isn't a full time formation and is used more creatively. I'm ok with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me...under Mario... 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioDuck No. 6 Share Posted December 10, 2022 yeah, sounds like the same kind of bright creative mind as Dilly. let's see how he does at getting on the recruiting trail now and keeping some of the guys who have committed and then get some really good new ones. If Bo stays, hope he can put him in a place where he can succeed much like Dilly did. If not let's see how he does with get someone else ready to produce at close to the same level.
