Actually, the receiver route tree at WVU under Holgerson utilizes is and uses mostly pro style route progressions. The only difference is that it's typically operated out of a shotgun versus under center. And add to it that Geno did operate in a pro style set his sophomore year.
And, if you've watched any NFL game recently, more often than not, the offenses are being run out of a shotgun, multiple receiver "spread" setting. Manning, Brady, Brees, etc. are all utilizing a shotgun spread an absolute ton.

His numbers are skewed because of this gimmick offense.

It's only a gimmick offense if no one else is using it. Right now, a pro style set is the gimmick offense in terms of college football. And it could be easily argued that the "pro style" sets of, say, Charlie Weis during his Notre Dame tenure and USC under Pete Carroll produced substantially inflated/skewed numbers for the quarterbacks in those systems, even more than most of the spread systems.
