There's not many RPO's where the QB runs it. There's the one that becomes like the triple option where the QB pulls it, reads the field defender and elects to run or throw to the sideline Wr. Thats based on how the defender reacts.
I'll push back on this a little and note that it's the slot receivers that are the target in the quick horizontal passing game. We had the same slot receivers from 2018 to 2019 in Sean Riley and Nykeim Johnson. From 2018 to 2019 both saw a roughly 50% reduction in receptions (Riley went from 64 receptions in 2018 to 36 in 2019, Johnson went from 41 in 2018 to 19 in 2019). Interestingly, Johnson's production at Kent State went back up to 2018 levels during his one year at Kent State (54 receptions). Was this a lack of physicality or outside blocking? Was it scheme change (same OC)?
Because he saved their butts because their plays wouldn't have worked. If he had run all the plays the way they wanted, we would have had the same results as all the other years..
Dungey was running his own scheme and his plays now?
The Baylor system got figured out. Defenses caught up. It wasn’t anything Babers did or didn’t do.
Offense was figured out. What does that even mean? It’s a false narrative created on this forum after the O line and QB play took a dive. SU has been a losing program for 20 years so people tend to point fingers at every thing out of frustration. The defense was putrid vs Maryland. We’re they figured out? There’s nothing complexed that Anae does. Watch their games on YouTube. They just execute better.
He also adjust his O based on the skill set of his players.
no. because they called plays and he made bad reads plays worked far less than they would have.. yeah he saved some plays but he also threw a ton to the wrong WR because he fell in love with the wrong throws.
I'm not one to point fingers Money, but I'd say it was about 90% your fault.
Can't totally say that. I would say that about Gilbert but not with previous OC's. There were power read plays designed for Dungey. Isolation and rpo routes for Etta Tawo, Ishmael to take advantage of mix matches. They got the ball to Erv in different spots. They used Elmore's versatiltiy as a blocker. They added and taken out some plays based on skill sets .You still have to execute and be better than the guy defending you. The offense in 2020 and some of 2019 was horrendous. I dont know what Gilbert was trying to do. I think Dino pushed for more run focus in 2021. Schmidt had some input too.

And didn't Ole Miss run one of the fastest tempos last year?
Yup, and I get it. Its easy for everyone to reference that game when pointing out all the flaws SU has but it really was just a flat out butt kicking. Everything went Maryland's way.
Yes, along with UVA. Pitt's offense excelled because of tempo as well.
Agree, but I think it's not just the scheme alone. I think it had a lot more to do with the pitcher rather than the catcher.
Agree. He could be a good player for SU
The Baylor O got figured out 2017-18. The reads and quick WR screens combined with wide splits and deep balls all got countered; the defenses adjusted. The Big12 used to live on that stuff and now they are a defensive league. Tempo stopped working as well once the quick reads stopped.
The system he got recruited for isn’t the system he ran. His strengths were not able to be utilized as we transitioned from that system to something new. His weaknesses went very poorly with bad OL play.
Fake news
Quick game reads and Wr screens is part of everyone's offense. Thats not going away. Some might have to do it more than others based on strength and weakness of the team. Briles ran a power run offense, tempo was just part of it. Power and counter runs was the meat of it. Briles version alone was never used at SU. Dino used his philosophy but had his OC's focused on certain parts. Believe me, all these spread teams run the same stuff they just do it in different ways. Briles took from others to create his system. He also doesnt own the rights of tempo. So many coaches have been running it. Look at the top 11 offenses in the country. I want to say almost all of them run up tempo.
