Morris vs. Petrino Offensive Scheme

[Hugo Bezdek]

For some of you that have done more research on Morris, how would you compare the offense that he runs versus what we saw under Petrino while he was at Arkansas? What are the chief similarities and differences?

[HamGrowsOnTrees]

Completely different. Morris runs a package system offense that keys on one or two defensive players. Petrino s system isn't package. He calls a play and a check down run play but the routes change according to what the qb and WRs and Rb see. Morris system the whole play changes according to what the qb see to another play in that package.

There is something like 7-12 packages for each game. Each package has 4 or 5 different plays.

which is considered the most effective?  Does Gus run the package system too?

Yes. It's where those goofy signs they use come into play.

Today's college football uses more of the packaged play systems than petrinos system. Petrinos system also has roots in new England's offense.

Most effective?? I dunno. Probably just depends on the players running that particular offense.
