I am skeptical of the N Zone based on it merely being OK at UCLA.  but I wouldn't judge it based on a backup quarterback in his first game when they were whiteknuckling it

Hundley wouldn't have been so highly thought of if he never threw the ball downfield.  He was 27th in yards per attempt.  Not great but not terrifying either

there's no reason to say "the N Zone, now that is the best offense".  some coaches go with crappier offenses to stand out from the crowd a little bit.  i think of rob spence going all in bubble screens.  he must've known it wasn't the ideal offense but if it had worked out, he could've been the bubble screen guy.  it's almost like marketing.

fwiw that neiuhiesal game ended with a pump fake 33 yard td all in the air.  for it to be 1.7 yards in the air average, that means the rest of the passes would've had to only go .62 yards.  I find that very hard to believe.  If you didn't hate our bad offensive coordinator so much, you might have some more skepticism of something that flashed before your eyes.
