AN EXCERPT:

QUESTION: Will you have other you mentioned the quarterback being more mobile maybe. Will you have other changes in your offense, and will you continue to use more kind of a multiple choice approach at running back?

HOLGORSEN: Yeah, I can't be too specific. There's people watching. Different personnel groupings is important. Us personally, we go back this league is so similar with what we do offensively. There's so much carryover from guys that I've coached or guys that I've coached with or whatever it is to the point to where we've got to do different things to change to keep people off balance.

Getting the quarterback involved in the run game, I've mentioned that. Different personnel groupings is important. Different tempos is important. I think defenses have caught up to if you just stay in one personnel grouping and think you're going to just go as fast as you possibly can, I think defenses have caught up to that, and they can suffocate that.

So being able to change is important, and then being able to vary things is important as well.
