I agree with you and think a lot of people confuse wide-open offenses with fast paced offenses.  If you look at Oregon's offense for example, almost all of their plays are based on one read.  It could be a zone read run with the quarterback or running back or it could be a short quick pass, many of which are bubble screens.  TCU and Baylor do seem to throw deep a little bit more often, but they too rely on runs and short passes a lot of the time.  People seem to think that fast paced, no huddle also means wide-open, which isn't always the case.  I have faith in Hunt as long as he gets some help from others, but without the offensive line doing a decent job it doesn't matter what Hunt or anyone else on offense can do.

In addition to the OL which I think is most important to our success, I also think that we need to have some of our guys prove they are dangerous in space and can turn a short catch or interior run into a long gain and have at least one receiver prove to be a deep threat.  Seems like it is asking a lot and many will argue that we don't have these pieces, but we don't need to have All-Americans doing these things, just players that opposing defenses have to respect.  Give a defensive player a few things to worry about instead of one and the advantage automatically swings toward the offense.
