We have a lot of weapons and we'll be able to move the ball one way or another. What Leach preaches worked at Oklahoma last year. Under his guidance, the Sooners' offense improved from 101st nationally in total offense to 11th with 427 yards per game. Coach Leach always thinks and always is coming up with ways to best use people. He has a very different style.
Leach takes over a team that has had seven straight winning seasons.
He also inherits a 12-game schedule with eight home games, including Nebraska and Texas. And he says the Red Raiders are further along than any other team he's worked with before. That includes his time as offensive coordinator at Kentucky when Tim Couch was the quarterback. The defense is also on track, even with only four starters returning. I think we have a pretty good combination of speed and size.
