The Athletic put out a good article recently. We had 2 TEs on 40% of plays last year. Washington just 20%. Since TE probably isnt going to be an overwhelming strength next year, that’ll be a change we see
Per that same article, they also went under center much more than we did. No idea which QB has the most experience with that
They ran QB power a fair amount on short yardage. I’d argue that Penix, while a decent athlete, is a step below Simpson and several below Milroe

Penix is a decent athlete, but he and Milroe might as well be from different planets in that aspect.
I hope the coaches can help Milroe develop the touch on his passes that Penix has, though.

Just shows you that a few of us were not far off with our assessment of Tommy Rees’ offense. We literally ran a big ten offense with two tight ends. That’s the reason we didn’t score much this year. People can make up lies that milroe cant read quick passing concepts but that’s a lie. We rarely ran slants and when we did milroe nailed them.

I’d argue we could have more receptions at TE despite only using one instead of two because of the number of passing plays we’re likely to run.
DeBoer wants to run a hybrid air raid system, how close we get to that depends on our QBs ability to process his reads and deliver downfield.
Our IOL and RB group should be as good as we’ve had since 2020, we need to block on the edges to give the deep route trees he runs time to develop, find a QB who can run the system and hope some WRs emerge who can challenge the safeties to spread the field for the run game and intermediate passing game we haven’t seen since BY got hurt against Arkansas in 2022.
He and Grubb were merciless in stretching teams vertically with his three WRs and horizontally with eye candy motion before the snap. Once the field was spread Penix could sit back and slash defenses with his arm along with a run game that was surprisingly effective for a team viewed as a pass first unit.
