I'll be breaking down all the offensive plays from SDSU's bowl game using screen shots, to show what Al Borges did last year and maybe some insight into what he's capable of.
people are confusing spread with shotgun here...in all honesty.
go look at what Auburn did this year, they weren't necessarily a "spread team" they run a ton of formations with a TE or H-back, but because they are in the gun they're considered "spread". Auburn's running game was completely power football, power, counter, veer, and some zone sprinked in. Same with Florida under Meyer.
Looking briefly at what Borges did at SDSU, they were in a ton of 3WR 1TE sets.
Now those teams also used 4 and 5 wr sets, and I'm sure Borges will have the ability. I don't think Borges will limit himself, I think his offense can adapt.
Will it be Rich Rod spread offense, nope. But I don't think it has to be for Denard to be successful at QB. You can run the QB without being "spread" with 4 WR. Heck, UofM was that most of the season operating with a lot of H-back and TE looks.
Nobody know's what's going to happen, but it's not the end of the world yet.

I was able to start doing a play-by-play breakdown for people that want a slightly more in depth look into the Borges offense.

I think Borges will find a way to make Denard work...I mean, isn't that his and Hoke's job?

A new post regarding Al's offense. More will come as more higher quality game tape is released of SDSU.

Al should be able to adapt pretty well, his offense is designed to do that. Now it's a question of how well will he adapt.
New post on Al's offense, with more to come as higher quality game tape is released.

Seems like he could be able to adapt very well, if he WANTS to.
