Just kinda bouncing around today and figured I would chime in on this. Only one of those teams run the "air raid" and thats Texas Tech. The others just run variations of the HUNH spread. The two offenses are NOT the same thing. The main difference in these teams are they play to what is there strengths and that can change from year to year. Malzhan at Auburn is a perfect example. When he had Newton it was heavy read option and passing from Newton. The last two years he has been much more run heavy because he is loaded at Oline and RB.

Morris preferred to to be run first with his HUNH when he came to Clemson from Tulsa but after getting to Clemson he adapted to what he had(Boyd, Watkins, Hopkins, etc) and went more pass but still balanced for the most part. Thats the same thing Patterson is doing. Adapting to what he has. They lost a TON of defensive kids and have a ton of talent on offense. So my guess would be he thought "if I cant stop them I will out score them". That may change when his defensive guys get a little better. Point is that good coaches adapt and thats what Patterson has done.
