Might we see an air raid offense this year?

With Kiffin being a QB guru and Without a full stable of RB's do you think we will throw the ball more than we ever have previously? I think coach Kiffin will have a couple of QB's ready and we have some horses at WR and outstanding depth there as well.

Doubt it. I would think Bama would be more '08-esque honestly. Had Coffee, Ingram, then Upchurch. JPW also had only 10 TD's to 6 INT's and barely threw over 1000 yards. That team was the definition of ground-and-pound and controlling TOP. Could see it this year with Henry, Drake, and Harris.

Only difference is I think this years team has a better set of WR's and the '08 squad had a better oline.

I hope not. We have a lot of talent at RB. It'd be foolish to not use them, especially with a question mark at the QB position.

I think we'll see a balanced offense as usual. Great trio of RBs in Harris, Drake, and Henry. Also a good group of receivers including Howard with a lot of potential to be great. Too much talent to not use the passing game as well.

I think we are going to look a lot the old dominant USC teams that Lane coached v under Pete Carroll.

We are not hurting at RB and we have a full stable.

I imagine it will look like last year's offense.

We need an identity on offense. We've been missing that the last few years. More specifically, we need to get back to MTAQ when the moment calls for it.

I bet we throw it even more than last year.

I expect us to take a lot more shots downfield. People knock Coker for his release time, and it's clearly not the fastest...but ask that kid to hit he endzone from your own redzone and he's gonna hit it. With the speed at WR (Stewart and Drake, maybe Ridley/Charlot) I'd like to see us take shots at the back end of a defense early. Tell those guys to sprint for the goal line and be ready to catch the ball

I think we'll be balanced, but I hope we take advantage of all the pass catching talent and Coker/Cornwell's arm strength. We can drop so many bombs the Air Force will name a bomber after Kiffin.

I'd rather them name a tank after Saban or a lineman...
