re: NON-TROLL Question: Is the Vol offense a "gimmick" offense?

Heupel and Leach's offense have similar WR concepts but that's really it. Otherwise their philosophies were almost the opposite. Leach's offense was akin to the triple option. Slower, very small number of plays that relied on precision, execution, and repetition. Heupel runs some AR concepts but also incorporates a lot of RPO concepts which Leach lightly used.
