</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Mullen coached his players to get up immediately when tackled and give the ball to the ref in an attempt to hurry up for the next play, right? That's what Freeze is referring to. He isn't saying he wants to take a bunch of half-court shots. He wants a fast paced offense where everyone on the field is an athlete and a threat(except for the obvious lineman). Basketball isn't all about shooting the ball. There's a lot of running involved.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">He uses a spread-out, read-option offense a lot. I agree that MSU is a primarily run-oriented offense but I think that is more because of Ralph being a crappy passer(as far as SEC QB standards go). I don't see Tyler being successful at MSU unless they go pro-style but I'll admit that i'm wrong here if I am. Freeze WILL pass a hell of a lot more than MSU has shown with Ralph but he WILL also run the QB quite a bit.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Liggins won't be taking many snaps under center under Freeze's offense. Ryan Aplin was his QB at ASU and was also the leading rusher. They passed for 3800 and ran for 2000.</span></div>
