George was still in love with the unbalanced line, short-side toss and TE throwback. Sure, those plays worked sometimes, but Syracuse has been doing that stuff since Old Ben. I saw half of DeLeone's offense on old tapes of Schwartzwalder teams from the mid-60s. Kevin Rogers, on the other hand, put big numbers on the board a few times when he had McNabb. I remember laying 70 points on Rutgers one season. DeLeone was 4 yards and a cloud of dust. I give him credit, we had 1,000 yard rushers damn near every single season that he was a coach here. But just like with Ben and that old-fashioned running game, football was changing again (because of rules changes) which made both Ben's and George's offenses obsolete. [/QUOTE]
