In what certainly cannot be connected to WVU’s offensive ineptitude against Pitt, it appears the playbook was somewhat brief. So says Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt. (Questions in bold.)

How different is the offense here from the one you ran at West Virginia? Oh God. We had 12 plays there. Literally. And we ran six of them.

Give it to Slaton? Yeah. Literally, we had 12 plays and ran six. Maybe. At the most.

And Rodriguez got a job at Michigan for it? Well, yeah, but if you are good at something you keep doing it. Obviously, he has perfected that whole thing. This is just the terminology is different. There it was simplified. Here it is very, they don’t make it complex, but back in the day somebody called it this and that’s just the way it is. There are more rules.
