Once again let me say that the transition from the option offense to the WCO is far more drastic than the transition from Snyder's offense to Prince's.
But that was a team that won 10 games running the option. That means that you don't have a QB who can throw the ball, you don't have WRs or RBs that can catch the ball, you don't have linemen that can pass block, and no one has any familiarity with the offense.
Did you even watch Nubb football in the final years of Frankie and the boys? Nubb had in fact made an amazing transition from the Osborne I-back based option to the QB centered run-game.....they did in fact resemble KSU more closely than they did NU of old. NU wasn't running an option based attack...they had option in it...but KSU and NU offenses were more similar than different.
The year 1 Slashahan and year 1 Prince comparisons are very similar in this regard.....It is a reason you see so many freshman put in key positions....KSU didn't have the horses in the stable to run the offense either...we made the switch and won ballgames.....it's a fact
