I believe in Kill and his coaching staff. We have made huge strides since he took over the program. Back-to-back eight win seasons. Four B1G wins last year. Five this year. The list goes on.
That said, we have some warts. Every team has warts. Maybe you've perused GopherHole in the last twenty-four hours and are keen to some of these warts.
My question for the X's and O's guys and gals out there:
What major college program offense are we most likely trying to emulate? Or are we creating our own variant?
A few questions to consider before answering:
Aside from the obvious posts about Leidner's inaccuracy and apparent D3 ability, I haven't seen many posts touching on our passing attack versus passing attacks of Kill's past teams. Are there routes that his other teams ran that we haven't run? Or is it basically the same offense, but we just aren't executing? What set apart his past QBs vs Leidner other than "they were good, Leidner is bad." Pocket presence? Accuracy?
Be constructively critical, please. Trying to keep this thread positive. Don't answer if you're going to say, "Kill doesn't have a plan. Leidner is terrible", etc. O

A few questions to consider before answering:
- Which major college program offense are we most likely trying to emulate?
- What is our ideal balance between run and pass?
- Are we trying to recreate Northern Illinois in a bottle? Has Kill/Limegrover every commented on that?
- If Kill could create a quarterback in a lab for the Gopher offense, what would that QB look like? Do?
- What does our ideal passing scheme/tree look like?
