Go watch Oregon, or OSU of the past few seasons. Flat wide, flat wide, stop route, stop route, flat wide, flat wide. You're thinking of the air raid or what I call the "Drew Brees" offense, it's not a spread.
The "Spread Offense" has got to go

You are correct. Problem is when ISU does it there are 3 defense guys there and no blockers. They make no space for the WR to work in. No matter what you run you have to throw deep and work the edges. It is not a spread it is a jumbled mess.

The brutal truth is, that if you have a good enough, aka big xii offensive line, you could play the Flying Wedge if it were legal and you could succeed.
Quoting Lenny Dawson...Offenses starts and ends with the Offensive LINE......Amen Lenny Amen Bro!
I say we junk the running game and just go empty backfield with five receivers every play. Three step drop and Sam either gets the ball out quick or runs for his life. We'd win two or three games again and go through every QB on the roster including whoever the emergency guy is, but at least it'd be entertaining. 
I could care less about what type of offense we run ,we just need a coaching staff who can tailor their gameplan to the guys we have here. It takes an ego check and most coaches (esp offensive coaches) struggle with that. I'm not sure there is any positive to labeling yourself as a coach, seems like pigeon holing yourself.
Now that we finally have the receiving core (if healthy) to do this, you want to switch between he offense? Okay...
Let's get all those mKe believe bulldozing lineman you think are laying around and switch to triple option. Good plan

For the life of me all year I could not fathom why in the hell we didn't try to run more to the outdside instead of continuing to hand off inside. We didn't try even one simple sweep with West or Wimberly where their speed is their strength. Ridiculous. Not once all year. This coaching staff is so dumb. I would be willing to bet that if we had just lined up in a power formation, under center, on 3rd and 1's, that we would have gotten a 1st down 9 out 10 times. Although I'm not sure we had a total of (9) 3rd and 1's all year (lol).
what happened to the freshman Syria? He at least seemed to be able to run straight ahead and get us a few yds when we needed it. He completely disappeared after the Baylor game. Wtf? Next season we have Syria and Ozigbo two big, strong rbs. Run the damn ball.
