[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 132058340, member: 1112294"] Air Raid was used to develop into another offense called the "Power Raid". The Power Raid is now used by top offensive teams such as Oklahoma, North Texas, UNC, SMU, and Houston. The Power Raid offense combines the best of the smash mouth, downhill, power run game, with the finesse of the Air Raid passing game. Essentially Mike Leach’s passing game married with Gus Malzhans’ power run game. This offense is producing record-breaking numbers in college football. In the Air Raid if you are not completing passes, the run game is non-effective.
