It's pretty simple really. And both things can be true.
The HC has a vision of the offense he wants run and how it fits into his program. EWNMF (Rhule) wants to run the ball. Holgorsen has obviously obliged him in that regard and not trying to install full blown air raid. He's basically taken over the offense that was already installed, and basically ran it IMO. You see the same thing as before he got here, but probably not the wild variations we saw under Satterfield. We run a lot of IZ & Duo, we run screens, we run a little play action shots (spear - satterfield), a lot of curl flat, y cross, and flood.
As the year went on...it was apparent we can't protect vs shit, and he reduced what we could run to try and run something we could actually have success doing.
But I've heard there's other somethings going on...a lot of checked plays by DR or over ruled calls by the HC. No idea if that's actually true...but that's the rumor mill.
