...or is our current offensive attack tailor-made for Bilbo or what? Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the coaches are wrong for going with Suggs. I spent a lot of time at our spring and fall practices and it was obivous that Suggs was far ahead of Bilbo in terms of running the offense.
However, it seems that Bilbo could really be successful with the things we are trying to do right now. We had a lot of succes with the option, etc. How much would Bilbo's mobility add to that success? How about the spread attack. Bilbo's mobility would put a lot more stress on the defense when we run the little draw out of the gun because they really have to respect Bilbo if he keeps it. His cannon arm would come in very handy on some of the quick short passes out of the spread attack. Bilbo also puts a lot more pressure on a defense with his ability to attack the entire field with his arm.
I know many of you(including myself) would say Suggs clearly understands the offense more. He is more likely to avoid the big mistake and sustain drives. I understand that point and agree with it, the only trouble is we lost Saturday because we made the big mistake which cost us 7-14 points and only put 13 points on the board.
FSU went the other way, they went with a young QB that played like one. He only completed 8 passes but made them count. He might not be great at making reads, but the kid has natural talent and used it to hit a beautiful deep ball. The important thing for FSU was the young kid protected the football, go figure. GT goes with the veteran and is bitten by -3 turnover margin.
Suggs might be the best answer we have. I can't second guess the coaching staff. Still, something tells me that Bilbo could really have success running a slightly-watered down verison of the attack we saw Saturday. With the success our ground game has had, I think you can move the football and still keep things simple for Bilbo.
