I dont think that's really the case. I am not really an X's and O's guy, but it seems to me that the offense is constipated by its complexity, or burdened with "thought." It reminds me of GRobs defense, where everyone was constantly thinking assignment and reading before reacting.
 
Over the last few years, I have felt that the offense has been forced to play way too "fine," and that really hampers any chance of being dynamic or even efficient. WVU was the ultimate example of what the pro style, multiple offense can do when everything aligns perfectly. But that game really is the lone exception. More games have resembled Rhode Island, where we struggle to move the ball against inferior talent.
 
I keep hearing that Northwestern's offense is the prototype SU aspires to, which makes sense. They have been putting up yards and numbers with inferior talent, and the offense is pretty balanced. And although the recruiting seems to be shaped to build a Northwestern like offense (mobile QBs, quick backs, big receivers, fast lineman), there does not seem to be any signs of implementation on the horizon. I hope that is a function of paranoid Marrone and CO not wanting to show its cards with this past week of open practice.
