1. Kill's offense does look like that, though not necessarily because they are friends.
2. If the Gophers make it to Pasadena, I think a huge number of bandwagon fans will make it to the game. They will fill their half. The thought of that makes me drool.

1. Because Kill and Patterson are good friends and share thoughts, Will Kills' offensive look like TCU?
2. If we go to the Rose Bowl will our "Gold" match in numbers the "Red" in the stadium as we saw today?
1. Kill already has a long established offense that I do not believe is like TCU. No reason to believe he will change it now IMO.
2. Hopefully Maroon and Gold...I may try and make it to that game if I can.

Kill and Patterson cut their coaching teeth under Dennis Franchione at Pittsburg State (KS) (Division II) in the 1980s, running option football. Kill was Franchione's defense coordinator. Kill left for high school coaching for two years, then when Franchione left for a bigger program, Kill went back to Pitt State as the offensive coordinator, winning the national championship two or three years later.
Kill's and Patterson's offenses will be different but both will heavily emphasize the running game. Like TCU, Kill will try to use several different formations and personnel groupings. He has always said that it is important to give defenses lots of looks and personnel groups in order to make it that much more difficult for opposing defensive coaches to prepare in the week preceding a game. A multi-faceted offense means a defense has that much less time to prepare for stopping one particular part of an offensive repertoire. That will help the offense during games as they find out what specific means (read option, triple option, jet motion, etc.) they can best use to exploit a defense that can't have prepared as thoroughly as possible for all parts of the offense.
What Kill would ultimately like to have is a running offense that can also throw for 300 yards a game if the defense stacks up against the run. That's why you need a great QB to run and throw it. Chandler Harnish at NIU worked like a charm as his quarterback in this way as this past season progressed. He was a hell of a QB this season.

Here is what UW's D-coordinator, Kill's replacement at NIU, said about TCU's offense:
"I think they're balanced," UW defensive coordinator Dave Doeren said. "They're good at taking what you give. They mix it up a lot (with formations). They don't have a ton of plays, but they have a lot of formations and ways to get to them. They do a really nice job."
I see Kill as trying to be similar to this. You don't always need a hundred different plays, just different ways to beat a defense with a basic group of plays. Interestingly, when Kill went to NIU from SIU, he and his staff spent some time at Boise State with their coaching staff, just exchanging ideas re: offense and defense. Additionally, when Kill went from Division II to SIU in 2000, he went to K-State and spent a couple of days with Bill Snyder to pick his brain about reviving the Division I-AA equivalent of 1988 K-State, or as close as possible to it, that SIU represented when Kill went there in 2000. Snyder apparently liked him and was willing to spend some time with him.
