Andrew Logue raises an interesting point:
Would ISU be better off with a crazy pass-every-down offense like Tech, or stick with what usually wins titles, the traditional power running offense?
I have a hard time seeing Tech or anyone else winning a National Championship with basketball-on-grass, because having a month to prepare great athletes for a title matchup will overcome the oddness of a pass-happy offense. I know, BYU did well in the 80's, but they didn't have three or four Top-20 power running teams in the WAC, either.
But you can win a bunch of games with it, and sometimes beat the team you shouldn't beat. It is fun to watch, looks great on TV, and will put butts in the seats, which is why its perfect for Ames. If you aren't going to get the best athletes, you need an offense that can overcome their limitations.
Spread it out. Chuck it up.
