  • In this video, see how Oklahoma Sooners' head coach Lincoln Riley has adapted the Air Raid offense that he inherited from Mike Leach. See how he's added in a Counter run game, and then built both a play-action and a Draw/Shovel Pass counter off of that base run game. Then, see how his offensive line has struggled to make that run game a true weapon, allowing defenses to play with light boxes and defenders at depth to take away the quick passing game. That hasn't been too big of a problem, though, because with guys like QB Spencer Rattler and WR Marvin Mims, the Oklahoma Sooners' downfield passing game has been a potent weapon that's kept the offense dangerous. After this season, Lincoln Riley became the Head Coach of the USC football team.

    I love how Riley has combined the best qualities of the Air Raid and the Smashmouth Offenses. Nobody’s done it better than him.

    This offense is the best in the nation for the 2021 year I’m calling that. Not only that but Oklahoma’s defense will finish the season top 10 during that spring game the defense was just light out.

    Bob Stoops said Riley became a good OC in the 2015 season after he learned OU could run the ball. And with the Oline and RB's OU had in his first season as HC, running the ball became even easier. All but one offensive starter is now in the NFL.

      Bunch of bs
      It was Lincoln Riley and Brandon Jones who were all about running the football with a version of the GT counter at Texas Tech, but Mike Leach thought it was sub optional. So they implemented it at ECU to roaring success. And, it was by way of Brandon Jones, who gave Bedenbaugh/Gundy game tape of their run game, that made Riley's offense more well-rounded. Stoops had nothing to do with that process other than to allow for Riley to do what was best for that Oklahoma team.
      "Bedenbaugh, who was a four-year starting offensive lineman at Iowa Wesleyan under Hal Mumme and Mike Leach, says they ran a play called G-Fold that was similar to GT. “We ran it, we practiced it,” Bedenbaugh says. “But it wasn’t a huge play. So we kind of went away from it.”
      Leach’s Texas Tech team, with Bedenbaugh as the offensive line coach, ran it two times against UTEP in 2006.
      “That stuff got choked out,” says Brandon Jones, Texas Tech’s center that day and now Houston’s run game coordinator and a protégé of Bedenbaugh. “Leach was like, we’re not running that shit anymore. We worked it. We repped it like crazy and then we kinda got away from it.”
      When Riley left Texas Tech to become East Carolina’s offensive coordinator in 2010, Jones was hired as the Pirates’ offensive line coach. The Pirates ran the play - which used to be called 30 - that was designed to go against a 4-1 defensive box where the center back-blocked the 1-technique (the defensive tackle lined up on the strong side of the center) and the strongside guard pulled to the middle linebacker. If the defense showed a 4-2 front, with a second linebacker in the box, the quarterback was expected to check out of the play. But if he didn’t, the backside offensive tackle would pull.
      Bedenbaugh studied ECU cut-ups after the 2014 season when Riley was hired at Oklahoma to take over the offense. Bedenbaugh called Jones to find out his rationale for the play, and then the Sooners’ line coach and Riley went to work brainstorming.
      “And then you look up and (Bedenbaugh) had kinda mastered it,” Jones says. “I know he had wanted to do it previously and that had kinda given him the green light. That next season, they ran it to a T. They perfected it. They can run it versus any front. He’s got adjustments forever.
      “The stuff they do is unreal as far as adjustments and answers. They’re probably the best in the game. I don’t know how they get to some of the stuff they do, but they do. In the Big 12 everybody plays Bear, it’s like those defense’s Kryptonite. "
      -----
      "ECU ran a man-blocking scheme when Jones and Riley were on staff. Oklahoma runs a gap scheme. The idea for the play evolved late in the 2015 season when the Sooners were playing Clemson in the Orange Bowl. In prepping for the Tigers, Oklahoma had noticed that Notre Dame had run something like the GT play against Clemson with some success, Bedenbaugh says.
      “It was another year we were inexperienced up front,” he says. “We had two freshman tackles. We had a sophomore guard. We’re just trying to do something to find angles.”
      Says Riley, “We ran it on the first third-and-long of the game, and we got it. We continued to have success with it, and it just kind of fit our personality and our physical nature. As people have adjusted to it, we’ve continued to adapt and been able to do it up out of a few different formations and alignments.
      “We just got good at it and found some different ways to use it, and it’s just kind of grown and grown and become a bigger part of who we are on a week-to-week basis.”

      This is the only offense that I watch where there's something new/interesting in every game. Not necessarily something completely new, but just a different way to run some of their base stuff that's gameplan-specific. I think SC's in really good hands on O, which is a huge change from the last 5-6 years.

    • @TheCoordinatorProject
      @TheCoordinatorProject  2 роки тому

      I've charted three games from 2020 and 2021 now, and he actually doesn't run a lot of doubles (4-wide, 2x2 just to be sure we're referring to the same formation). In the games that I charted Gun Near Doubles ranged from 4 to 7 snaps/game, and it was almost exclusively a passing set, so he's not running a ton of his offense through it.

    • @TheCoordinatorProject
      @TheCoordinatorProject  3 роки тому +1

      Right or wrong, any shot that Riley has at the NFL in the near future will be tied to Kingsbury's record. The league's getting a little more open to spread college guys, and if some of these early hires work out then it could open things over the next decade, but there's still a lot to prove. My concern with an Air Raid-style simplified offense is that defenses have so many schematic tools at that level, offensive complexity has traditionally been necessary to put pressure on them.
      Yes, Jones was at ECU with Riley. He's now a co-OC at Houston under Holgorsen, so he's still climbing and could move up soon. It's interesting, at ECU Riley had the elements of the run game that I talk about in the video, but his play-calling was much more pass heavy. At Oklahoma he's really taken a hard pivot toward the run game. It'll be interesting to keep breaking down more of these next-generation Air Raid guys, because none of them are running a pure Leach offense, but they aren't running the same thing as each other, either.
