He used to be a QB at Texas Tech right?  Does he run a version of the Air Raid?

Yes he was. They say he runs the air raid but this season Marshall had more rushing attempts and yards than passing so....

The Air Raid isn't just about passing the ball.  It's about spreading defenses out not only with the WRs but the OL having wider gaps between the linemen.  When Leach had Baker Mayfield at TT for one season, I was taken back by how Leach was having Mayfield run the ball more than any previous TT QB thanks to how spread out the opposing defense was.

 

Now I think Air Raid concepts are just in about every playbook out there.

And just in case the Hunter Haters aren't already triggered enough, ESPN comes thru with this nice front page write up...

Travis Hunter's rise to Heisman Trophy favorite 

Hunter has been different from nearly everyone else at each stop of his football career. It's why the 21-year-old receiver and cornerback -- a rare two-way player -- is a massive betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday and might be a top-five pick in next year's NFL draft.

This season, Hunter has 92 receptions for 1,152 yards with 14 touchdowns (No. 2 in the FBS) on offense, while allowing just 22 catches, 1 touchdown and 6 first downs on defense. He logged 1,356 snaps on offense and defense in 12 games -- 434 more than any other FBS player.

I can only imagine how much more dangerous Hunter would be if he only played offense.

hey dumbass...you going for click bait?

if not, just post the quote...nobody want to needlessly click on links

“I love Boulder, Colorado. I have every intention, every plan in the world to be coaching for the Colorado Buffs from here on,” Sanders said. “I want to finish here. I want to put the flag. I want my name on the mountains out there. I want to put my flag down in Colorado.”

Thank you for the kind words, you're such a classy guy. I saw it on another Big 12 conference forum and thought I'd share it because a lot of people are wondering if Coach Sanders would stick around or try to get a pro coaching job, especially now that his son is moving on to the pros. Have a great day and Merry Christmas to you and your's.

sorry, I wanted to get your attention...it worked

a pet peeve of mine and other long time posters

as long as your including the link, it's okay to cut and paste a portion so we don't need to click

unless you're trying to direct folks elsewhere, you'll generally get more dialogue if folks don't have click
