Dana still runs some things he learned at Oklahoma State from Gundy who changed his offense with Larry Fedora.Any great offensive mind changes his offense. Even Mike Leach has changed.Almost all offenses in major CFB have AirRaid principles.Even in the NFL.But Neal Brown wants to develop a running game without the pass.You have to be able to pass without the run or run without the pass.Back in the day everyone would run the ball to develop the playaction pass.Watch old films of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Oakland Raiders in the 1970's.But that changed with the short passing game.There are so many ways to move the football now. Football is cumulative. Meaning that most college staffs have a collection of plays from different systems.This is what Dana was great at.Dana found ways to move the ball.Passes to the flat that went for 15-20 yards.Once that pass worked he used a playaction off of that pass to go deep.I am in the belief that the deep pass should be option #1.Once you show the ability to go over the top defenses have to adjust or get torched all game.What I have seen from Neal Brown and his staff is a stubbornness.There are 100 ways to move the ball. Don't have to believe in a few and continue to use those plays even though they aren't working.This doesn't matter what system you use.AirRaid, Triple option, power spread. All of these terminologies don't mean much anymore because teams have the ability to do different things and will probe you until they find something that works.</blockquote>
