They did the same thing for years with Luck as well. The difference was that Luck was able to bail them out of bad long down and distance situations a lot of times which made it appear much better than the reality was.
Shitty coaching for years and years, such a waste. Did no one on Pagano's staff have the balls to show him film and stats like these and say "They know what we are doing, we are being too predictable?" Someone should have grown a pair and brought it up. Either that or someone did and Pagano's dumb ass ignored them.
I really like Reich's approach from what I read in that Peter King article, about changing things up out of formations that defenses think you are going to do one thing in, and then do another. I think if Luck is able to come back and throw as well as he previously did, we are going to be VERY happy with this offense.
