Some folks in the analytics community have attempted to nail down certain factors that commonly result in optimized college offenses from a schematic standpoint. The one list I've seen is:
1) Space
2) Pace
3) Optionality - RPOs, zone-reads, etc
4) Simplicity
5) QB as a run threat
Curious how you all would grade our current scheme on these factors. I still think Chaney is wanting an offense that has 4 of these. Imo the only one he may be resistant to is simplicity. Unfortunately rn we feel capped at 2 of them (space, pace). HB may give us a 3rd in optionality (maybe he can run RPOs?). If we could add a run threat at QB and simplify things, we'd essentially be running a Clemson/OSU style. Briles/Lebby is similar in 4 factors, though don't usually push the QB run threat as much and can be more run heavy, but arguably have more optionality, pace, and space. If we have more of a pro style QB this would still be a very optimized route to go.
