Leach ran the Air Raid. It's a small playbook (30+ plays) but each pass play has a myriad of rout options, so it's not as simple as some would think. Like Tony Franklin under Dykes while at CAL, the goal of the Air Raid is repetition to perfection. With fewer plays to run you can rep each one many more times than in a traditional offense. In a typical week during the season in a Pro Style offense, you are lucky to rep 20 plays. In the Air Raid system, you are repping plays week in and week out. When you can execute plays perfectly, even when the defense knows whats coming, you score and you win.
As to Spav, he has his own system with its own tweaks. He's known as a brilliant offensive signal caller so I think we'll be fine with him. I'm just looking forward to some variety, insead of some 3rd and 1 screen or dive up the middle, maybe one of those plays like Fresno ran against WASU, like the snap that went under Haener while he was under center, where Hener fakes the QB sneak but the ball goes directly to a RB in wildcat who had the option of handing off to a jet sweep or running the ball himself based on the read. The WASU defense had no clue on that play. Just brilliant and so much fun to watch the ingenuity of the play design and call.
