  A power run football team.
  
  Even with Urban’s RPO we relied first on Marty Johnson and Quinton Ganther.
  
  When the Utes pasted Alabama it was behind Matt Asiata and Darell Mack.
  
  Its who we are.
  
  This is perfect for Harding.
  
  We need to toss the RPO and go Pro Style.

  While I am generally in favor of this sentiment, it could be another tough transition. We don’t have a pro-style QB (and haven’t proven that we can recruit and keep one) and blocking scheme needs to be revamped.
  
  To be honest, I would’ve felt much better had this news broken after next season. For the first time in years, we had some momentum in our offense and an identity. We have a favorable schedule next year, a senior QB, a stable of capable RBs (even better if Moss comes back). We could’ve really made a run at the PAC12 title again.
  
  Now? Who knows. People are bullish on Harding but he didn’t do great the last time around and he seems to be pretty hot-headed to me. If you don’t go with an inside hire, then you’re likely looking at another entire rebuild of the offense at a very in-opportune time.
  
  I hate the QB coaching carousel.

  First, Harding isn’t, nor has he ever been a pro-style guy.
  
  Second, we don’t recruit the QB or WR well enough to be a pro style team.
  
  No thanks.

    He likes his guys to straight ahead block. I’m all for the power run game, even if it means going to a straight option (which it doesn’t).
    
    RPO was a fad. It’s over. Power wins. Speed wins.

      RPO isn’t a fad. It’s all over the NFL.

        Really? Who?
        
        The Rams with Goff? No.
        
        The Saints with Brees? No.
        
        The Steelers with Ben? No.
        
        The Pats with Brady? No.
        
        Who?
        
        Certainly none of the good teams.

        Saints run RPO with Taysom Hill silly man. Goff also runs RPO.

        Saints situational, maybe five plays per game, and that’s running RPO?
        
        Rams? Surely you jest. They are purely Pro Style

        All that did was describe play action and call it RPO. If that’s the case all formations that use motion and play action are RPO.
        (Hint: they’re not.)

        Dude they run an RPO. You don’t necessarily need a runner to do it.

  Changing our offensive identity again would be a big mistake IMO. Not only would we most likely see a few transfers but we would probably have a hard time recruiting. Imagine being a recruiter for any other team. When a player is even considering Utah all you have to say is “they won’t have the same offense next year that they have this year”.
  
  We just gotta stick with an offense at this point.

    It’s not really a change.
    
    See also: Devonte Booker, Zack Moss, Armand Shyne.
    
    Complemented by: DHC, TJ Green and Devin Brumfeld.
    
    We’ve always been set up to be a power team. Look at our OL for confirmation.

  You can be a power running team and still run the RPO. RPO wouldn’t be the base offense, of course, but you still shouldn’t toss the baby out with the bath water.

  Asiata was awful against Bama. Utah won that game in the air, period. Asiata had one TD from the 1 or so in a direct snap. Bama’s D-line geared up and killed our run game. Re watch the game. That game started and was won in the air and by our D.
