and he brought over a quirky option hybrid offense. Beck also brought with him his QB, Pavia, and several other key positions that knew how to run the offense.
They caught Alabama under prepared for that type of offense. Similar to what happened to BYU when we went to Coastal Carolina on a short week or when a military academy pulls off an upset against a team they don’t usually play against. It takes time to adjust to option offenses and you have to be extremely assignment sound (thanks Bronco). They will surprise some teams this year just like Coastal did. We’ll see if they can keep it up long term.
