It’s not just the QBs but the offensive line. The “West Coast” offense was tried at West Point in the 1990s (I think that was the decade), and it was a fiasco. You can’t recruit top level offensive linemen at SAs who have the mass to pass block and also can meet height/weight standards in time for graduation. As it is SA O lines are border line illegal blocking on pass plays. There was talk of changing the downfield blocking on pass plays from 3 yards to 1 yard, but that was nixed. Would have hosed the SAs.Hmm...I do not hate this idea. Obviously, it's unique coaching at the SA's. I know it's tough to recruit QBs. I'd just like to see them open it up a bit. All in all, Coach Ken did a great job. I wish him well.
