It might be semantics, but how is it the same "basic system"?
 
In one offense (SU last season), you use an I formation (or "pro set") with a FB as your base offense, often use two tight ends, put the QB under center, start with runs off-guard, huddle between plays, the QB rarely is a runner, and you see a lot of rollout passes to the FB and TEs.
 
In another offense (what many teams do across the country as a "spread"), your base offense has the QB in a shotgun, lined up with a single RB, often go without a huddle, usually the QB is a threat to run, and you throw a lot to 3 WRs.
 
It can be part of the "basic system" if you like (all in the same large playbook), but it is a different offensive scheme. And, yes, you might use one scheme rather than another based on your talent. It just seems odd to insist it is the same "system" rather than a very different approach, retooled this year, to juice an offense. The staff ought to take credit for the change, and not pretend it is the same-old, same old.
