I want to take from SSK the idea that you don't need a super expensive REC corps.  All you need is a super expensive OL and a good RB.

However, SSK has done the dink & dunk for a quite a while, starting under Cody and McAdoo.  And I do recall us finding a solution to it in '21-'23.  Clog the lanes, don't give the QB all day, get hands up, put LBers in unorthodox, unexpected positions.  It is defeatable.  Why we forgot how to do all that this season is beyond me.  We better figure it out for '26!!

So I like Zach's more balanced attack -- not forcing long balls, but making sure to spread the ball out all over the field.

Did you see Trevor/Mueller?  They took only one (ONE!!!) shot the whole game!  Unbelievable.  But it proves they are the king of dink & dunk.

To be fair Harris avg. completion was 11.2 yds. which is well beyond most dink and dunk offences, fantastic considering 23/27 302 yds in the GC game. He doesn't have the strongest arm and they can't afford to let him get hit, which is probably his reason behind not throwing lower percentage long balls.

He is cognitively sharp, his test score on memory in this video is amazing.

Great interview. He's so honest, straight forward , no BS it isn't even funny. And he's always about the team, no wonder our locker room is so strong. And he knows the challenge at hand--to get better, 10-8 wasn't good enough as he said, and I believe he'll get things better for next year.

Ya, but what's the median (probably way less than 11) and std dev (probably very small).  Their whole game is basically 7 to 13Y passes.  I recall only 2 games or so Trevor/Mueller were really pushing the ball down the field -- probably only because they saw easy expoitations on a bad team, or the team was cheating up on all the short game stuff (must stay honest on the back end too!).

Just saying 11 avg doesn't show the whole picture.

And yes, I am giving them huge kudos and cred, including Trevor & Mueller, for perfecting this short game as the way to win games by itself (plus good run game thanks to AH).

Ya, MOS is a good man.  I like him so much more than the anger-clowns like Maas or swear-factories like Mace (watch one of his pre-game GC overview sessions).

He doesn't say much as to who he IS, but he sure tells you a lot about who he ISN'T.  In like every single presser he'll do a "question snub" / guffaw thing.  It's important to learn from these and put them all together.  (That is why I feel like I can make good guesses as to what is coming next when it has something to do with MOS.)

Hmmmmm. If the median (and probably the mode) are way less than 11 but the average is 11, that would imply a large rather than a small standard deviation. You would actually have a skewed distribution curve such as this one:
