re: Per Bobo...will run more of a spread offense with Mason...

Mason's strengths are quick release, accuracy, and height (which helps a lot on underneath throws that a qb can't get up and down over a defender without the higher release point).

Mason's question marks are reading blitzes, handling pressure, and keeping calm and accurate despite getting beat up by a 4 man pass rush. A lot of that is how quickly and accurately he goes through reads.

Spreading a defense out helps identify the blitz. It gives him more time to identify coverages in reads. It helps his throwing lanes on quick throws.

It is essentially the same offense he ran in high school which broke all of those state records.
And we can run from this formation with Gurley (lord knows that Lattimore killed us from the spread formation).
