air raid why the heck we are running three yards and a cloud of dust with the dome is beyond me.
 
Most consider it ugly and boring, but I love watching how Bama and LSU for example play. Run the ball, use it to set up the pass and play monster D. That said, I think we need to open things up and get some excitment back into the program.

In a perfect world, we would run something similar to the offenses that McNabb ran.
 
I have no idea, but we should be running a system that takes advantage of the Dome and the fact that we are a 3-star recruiting program.

I hate building an offense that sucks and then hearing "but just wait 'til we get more talent!". Right, the kind of 4-star-ready-to-play-from-day-1-talent that never comes to SU. Got it.
 
I think the best offense going right now is out of the Kelly/Malzhan mold, but for the Dome air raid makes the most sense.

Teams in all sports strategize to their home playing conditions. For some reason we've never had a football coach notice the controlled conditions of the Dome and say "You know what? I bet we could throw the pigskin in here. That's what we're going to do."
