I may be a bit off, but here's my understanding of the run and shoot, it was mostly built off alignment and positioning concepts. They set the record for most pass attempts in a single game in NCAA history in their game vs Oregon.

There really aren't that many passing concepts out there almost every team uses the same ones, but Mike Leach's teams are built to execute basic plays better than any defense can defend them. Īir Raid is a name attached to a certain philosophy (most notably used by Mike Leach at Texas Tech) that is a total commitment to a select few pass plays. Here is a video of ex Hawaii and now SMU head coach June Jones explaining a play. SMU is the only program to use it now (I think) but it used to be very successful. Run and shoot can use many plays but one that unique is a play where three receivers run vertical routes and one receiver runs up the seam with the option to break the route off into any number of routes depending on a post-snap read of a certain defender- often the flat defender. They also looked to see how many defenders were in the box, and would run if the numbers were favorable- running backs in the RNS had very good yards per carry averages because they often ran against very soft fronts. Run and Shoot is an spread offense based vertical routes, with or without motion to expose whether the coverage is man or zone. Also, don't think that the "spread" is anything new- its been around for many, many years. Almost every major football power uses it to some extent, but don't make the mistake of thinking all spread teams are the same, or even remotely similar- A team like oregon spreads the field to execute power-running football, washington state spreads the field to throw almost every down, and baylor has a balanced (albeit deadly) approach. The "Spread" is an offense philosophy or offensive formation that is designed to take advantage of the length and width of the field. But it was a great question and I love talking ball and Xs & Os. You get the point - I'm rambling at this point. The rise of the Spread brought speed back into the game. Those guys used to be what Fullbacks are now: obsolete. And also like you said about Jet Sweeps, it's way, way easier now to get the ball to your small, speedy WR or RB on the perimeter and in space. being exceptions because it's what they prefer to do). The teams that throw 30-40+ times a game REALLY don't want to do that (with TT, Baylor, etc. You're much more likely to find a kid who's great with the ball in his hands or who's intelligent and can handle Zone Read schemes. QBs who fit the Texas Tech, Baylor type schemes are extremely rare. More WRs = less guys in the box and more predictable fronts from defenses, making it easier to create advantages in blocking schemes. The spread is (or has become, maybe) all about running the ball. But I'm really speaking out of turn there. From what I understand, it's based on isolating weak defenders more than an actual focused scheme of attack. I'm not as familiar with Run & Shoot stuff.

You'll see a short checkdown (flare from RB, delayed release from TE, etc.) and a safe intermediate route (probably a Curl-Dig option route where someone finds space between LBs) and 3-4 players running vertical concepts (Post-Wheel, Dig-Post, 3/4 Verts, Smash) You won't see much traditional West Coast (precise intermediate to short routes) from Air Raid offenses. Air Raid offenses focus on exploiting defenses with vertical concepts.
