Gus runs what I think of as a hybrid offense. Some spread elements, some power elements. Sure we do run speed sweeps and spread it wide some, but if anyone that knows anything about football watches us, they see the majority of our run game is based on power running, which leads to a lot of the passing game being based on play action. It just happens to be out of the shotgun, which doesn't make it "spread" or "finesse."
And he does a really nice job of tailoring the offense to what he's got available. He's set various records at the schools he's been at for rushing and passing.

I thought a spread was just how you lined up. As in you spread your players across the field. We do that, so I still say we run a spread. But most spread teams are pass first, to set up the run. Auburn spreads the defense out and runs it in all sorts of ways like power behind the H back, zone reads, triple options, jet sweeps, and other fun things. I wouldn't define it as a power running game either though, it has that mixed in.
