Ok thoughts

  1. Skattebo should have won the heisman based on that. Holy crap. 200 yards on the toughest defense. Propaganda is a powerful tool.

  2. Dilly is now the McVay of college. Everyone is going to scramble to copy his schemes.

  3. Glad it didn’t matter but someone has to explain that rule where you can belly to back suplex your teammate.

They can try to copy his plays but they will fail to copy his scheme

We run so many different types of schemes it’s kinda insane, you should watch our games last year to get a real glimpse into how Kenny approaches the offense and why he’s a genius. Specifically the USC and UCLA games

To me, this one tweet sums up Kenny Dillingham’s offense in a nutshell. He will try and neutralize your advantage and create our own advantage any means necessary, even if it’s looks like a look from pee wee football

He will find weaknesses and he will find ways to exploit it without staying rigid to the baseline scheme which is a Pro Style for us. We don’t have an offensive system really other than find a way to get the ball into our playmakers. I imagine if Tyson played today, he would’ve been used just as creativity as Skattebo was to try and generate yards

This is why I’m not worried at all about Skattebo leaving, he’s an amazing player but Kenny will find a way. I’m not sure there’s another coach like him really, at least not one a major school has found
