Sark runs a "pro style" offense ! The fucking idiot. If he truly did he'd be challenging for the pac12 title this year .
OK class, how do we shut down spread offenses? We pound the football like Stanford, keep DAT off the field, kill the clock, play killer defense (which we will ), make field goals and punt well.
Sark ditched the run game ((Sankey did most on his own and in a sort of play-action mode) Sark hasn't lined it up and ran the football since his 1st year. David Shaw lines it up and beats you, Sark puts KP in the gun and uses Sankey for the sneaky little bursts of yardage (big difference)
Second Myth? Sark is an offensive genious. The dude is a paranoid and undisciplined playcaller. Worst I've ever seen, solely because he's the head coach. If he'd ditch playcalling he'd succeed here. He wont so he wont.
