I think our offense is very complex, and because we rely on underclassmen to play it, maybe too complex. Also, while I am busy aimlessly prognosticating, I HATE the meerkat look to the sideline crap.
Can we not recruit a QB with enough football acumen to audible?
With the MEERKAT we end up looking at the fake poker face the D shows us, react to it, and then they change, or did they change, or was it really what they were going to do all along, or is it a fake to fake us and they did the same thing so next time when they change they will fake us out on 3rd and 3 when it matters...
All of this posturing, communicating, reading, play calling, meerkating, and so forth, has to contribute to the stress level of our own players moreso than to the defense we are supposed to be trying to confuse...
I wanna see our guys looking at the defense and developing a plan without losing eye contact...
Can we not coach up a QB to READ it and audible?
Let's stress out the bad guys instead of our own players :-)

If not, then to say an offense in college is not complex is an ignorant statement. It may seem like we run simple schemes and the same running plays every time out, but I can assure you they are not simple. One running play may have multiple variants depending on the defensive alignments, the blocking calls then throw in the fact that there may be 60 different running plays with the same number of reads.
Coaching staffs may also call certain plays that they know may not be very successful just so they can set up a play for later in a series. They follow their game plane and sometimes it works and others it doesn't. _
