I did hope that CPJ watched and was inspired by the Auburn offense. It certainly shows that a spread option attack with an emphasis on the ground game can be successful at the highest level. Perhaps the game has evolved to the place that the shot gun and one back using the read option should be the bread and butter play of the offense rather than the A-backs, B-back, QB under center set we use to run mid-line and option as our offense's mainstay. You can move WR's, hybrid RB's/WR's, blocking backs and tight ends in multiple formations to make the offense difficult to figure out. And, you can run option with OL blocking more conventionally as opposed to firing out low and cutting almost every play.
The more our offense evolves toward what Malzahn runs at Auburn or what Urban runs at Ohio State, the easier it will be to recruit higher quality offensive players at every position. CPJ has a great mind as a spread option coach. I believe he needs to show an equal aptitude for evolving his offense's concepts.
