I agree that it's nowhere near as fascinating as the Oklahoma State example, but there are definitely some wrinkles in there that are interesting to read about.
I can only take "Cassel sucks" and "Bowe's back, bitches!" for so long. At some point I wouldn't mind some actual substantive football discussion.

I wonder how teams will eventually counter Oklahoma's offense. Jamming every receiver? Less pass rush to be able to read offensive cues? More pass rush to try to disrupt the offense?
I do think the value of the OL and pass rushers in general goes down with every offensive innovation like this, though. The top offenses don't have their QBs standing back there for any length of time at all.
