With 0 scholarships, Presbyterian racked up huge numbers on offense, but had no defense and no depth.
Win or lose, at least it would be exciting football. It would attract recruits to the style, similar to the basketball team. Hopefully, it would generate publicity and possibly increase enrollment, which is imperative these days.

Gadget offenses can be effective. Not because the team is better, but because the other team only faces them once a year and has to basically prepare a whole new defense for that one week. UC used to do somthing like that with Tony DeMeo's "triple gun" offense. You could probably get the same effect by running a veer offense today.

The no punt style is based on analysis of thousands of college and NFL games.
Pulaski Academy of Little Rock should be a 3a school. They won 7 out of last 8 state championships at 5a level. They move up to 6a this year. They scrimmage 7a power Bryant every year for charity. Bryant has won last four 7a titles in Arkansas. Pulaski lost 42-38 this year.
Principles
- never punt
- never rush the punter
- never field a punt
- on side kick
- defenders taught to tackle at the ankles and do an alligator death roll. Effective against powerful backs.
- ball carriers taught to run out of bounds rather than attacking tackler to reduce risk of injury.
But all this stuff has limited value if you do not have creative minds leading offense and defense. Since they don't have to practice special teams, there is more time to teach more sophisticated route running and deceptive plays. And kids and boosters have to buy in.
Fun game to watch. YouTube palive (not palive! Which is a Pennsylvania state website) to watch Pulaski academy games. They are going to play one of top teams in Miss in madison - ridgeland Academy 9 /2 at 7 pm central time.
They won their 1st game against a huge, physical team in Robinson 55-29.

I feel like the veer or triple option could do wonders when you can't assemble a strong passing game or develop a capable offensive line.

Yep. Playing a unique offensive style, including the veer, once a year makes it very difficult to defend. It also is a great offense for teams that are "challenged" on the OL. Put you smartest/best athlete at QB, your two quickest players at RB and have your OL get some BIG line splits and start running the same play over and over and over again! The goal is to get 3.5 yard per play...EVERY play. It ain't pretty or innovative (the two things that seem to be the most important thing in football now days) but it is effective and you can win football games with it (this seems to be a secondary goal among some fans now days).

Can someone please explain the relationship between Waialea and West? I am an alum but won't give them a cent as long as Waialea is coach. My issue with Waialea is personal regarding how they treated my son in the recruiting process, but I just don't understand how/why this guy is still in charge when he's had 2 winning seasons in last 10 years and his career record is below .500.

Lurker...Your guess on the RW/West "relationship" is as good as any we've come up with here. But it is clear it is a real thing and it certainly doesn't include WINNING!!
You're not the first to talk about WLU treatment of potential recruits. Clearly they don't do recruting well...either in evaluating quality OR enticing quality players to come to WLU. Record does not lie about how they do football across the board (recruting, player development, game planning and in-game adjustments).

As you know I think the no punt style is based on sound data analytics.
IMHO WLU should really consider this style and grab Kevin Kelley as a consultant, offensive coordinator, or head coach if the current coach retires.
off-topic FYI
I wondered why Coach Kevin Kelley of Pulaski Academy was not successful at D1 Presbyterian despite putting up huge offense and passing numbers. He quit after one year.
The lack of success was not an indictment of the style, but the fact that he did not know to ask the right questions before taking the job.
That school must be using football to keep their enrollment numbers up. Absolutely no commitment to football there.
Here is the rest of the story.
