I am sure most of you have read these I like some of them. Again mostly the same types of things he's been saying...

Can you explain why you say your offense really isn't that different and some people are exaggerating it?
I think it's kind of funny, actually. I don't know how anyone even knows what kind of offense we're going to run. We haven't played a game yet. You can color it any way you want. It doesn't matter what you do on offense if you can't execute. If everyone understands what you're trying to do then you can all be successful. I get a kick out of when people ask me if it will work on this level. Last time I looked we were playing a division I schedule at Navy. We played five or six teams from the ACC and we played Notre Dame every year so I don't think it's a question of fundamentally will it work. We're going to execute and run it just like any other offense.
Do you think your offense requires more of a learning curve than some other offenses?
Not really. It's just like anything else. I think it's successful and the neat thing that I like about it is that it's a system. If you go back and look through the years, it's been a different type of deal for different teams. There were years at Hawaii where we threw the ball for over 200 yards a game. Basically, when we were at Georgia Southern we didn't throw the ball for a lot of yards but when you look at the scores most of the time we were so far ahead at halftime that there was no need to throw the ball in the second half. We still threw the ball for 100-150 yards a game and most of it was just in one half. If you can rush for 360 or 380 yards and throw for 140, you'll be pretty good.
