[QUOTE="Vernon, post: 132957549, member: 1034769"] From Jed Drenning [B]#1[/B] The offense – sometimes referred to as the "power spread" – actually has its roots in the old Mouse Davis Run-n-Shoot (not the Air Raid). In fact, when Coach Rod was first learning what would prove to be the framework of this scheme, he watched old 1980s game films of Jim Kelly's Houston Gamblers of the USFL and Warren Moon's Houston Oilers. [HR][/HR] [B]#2[/B] In four seasons under Rodriguez (1991-1994), Glenville State WR Chris George racked up 430 catches (mostly from the slot) – shattering the all-level career reception record of 310 held previously by Mississippi Valley State's Jerry Rice. George once caught 23 passes in a single game (for over 300 yards). [HR][/HR] [B]#3[/B] With Rodriguez as Offensive Coordinator in 1998, Tulane’s Shaun King became the first QB in NCAA history to throw for 300+ yards and rush for 100+ yards in the same game. [HR][/HR] [B]#4[/B] That same 1998 Tulane offense was the first in history to average 300 yards passing and 200 yards rushing per game – earning rave reviews for the scheme's creativity from none other than offensive coaching icon Bill Walsh. [HR][/HR] [B]#5[/B] Running point in Rodriguez’ offense at Clemson in 2000, Tigers QB Woody Dantzler became the first player in NCAA history to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. [HR][/HR] [B]#6[/B] QBs in Rodriguez’ offense have thrown for 500+ yards in a game four times and run for 200+ yards in a game 10 times – including an NCAA QB rushing record 327 yards in a 2017 contest by Khalil Tate of Arizona (in a game Tate didn't even start). [HR][/HR] [B]#7[/B] Under Rodriguez, Michigan's Denard Robinson became the first QB in history to throw for and run for 200+ yards in a game multiple times. [HR][/HR] [B]#8[/B] Rodriguez’ system has produced a dozen players who finished in the top 25 nationally in rushing and eight players who finished in the Top 10, including 2012 National Rushing Leader Ka'Deem Carey (148/game) of Arizona. [HR][/HR] [B]#9[/B] Rodriguez’ West Virginia teams (2001-2007) out-rushed the opposition in 80% of their games during his first tenure in Morgantown – including 87% in his final six seasons and 95% in his final three. [HR][/HR] [B]#10[/B] Running backs in Rodriguez’ offense have run for 200+ yards in a game 15 times at the FBS level, including three by Tre Stewart of Jax State this past season. This total also includes a pair of 300+ yard performances by RBs: 366 by Arizona's Carey in 2012 and 337 by WVU's Kay-Jay Harris in 2004. [/QUOTE]
