"If the "play maker" can make one guy miss (or get a good block) it can go for a long gain (as other schools exhibit)."

Would this be like the WR screen that got popular after FSU or Miami would snap the ball, their O-line would let the DLs run right by, the QB would hit the WR on a crossing route, and he'd go faaaaaaar?  Also described as, "a play SU tried to copy, but never could pull it off"?  I don't mind if they do it once in awhile, but as an offense, I don't think they have the talent to go "bubble screen left", "bubble screen right" as their first two plays in a series.

I was more annoyed with the continued attempts at running with a faster pace.  I will suspend judgement on that with Hunt, if the offense was trying to be vanilla and win Friday, and hope to see a better gameplan vs CMU; I do not feel that that particular style of offense works with Wilson as QB.  I felt during the game they should've taken a little more time setting the play, making sure everyone knew what they were doing, and maybe looked to use his skillset in a different manner.  There's no point to rushing an offense with the backup QB who wasn't ready for the gameplan.  I'm not certain that rushing the Orange attack and leading to stats like "time of possession - SU (4:03), Villanova (14:51)" is going to be a smart idea against more capable teams.  SU is not a good enough offense where they can afford to waste possessions, especially when the D is still unsettled.
