Alabama Football and Ole Miss have explosive offenses built from a similar set of offensive schemes.
In terms of offensive schemes, neither Alabama football nor Ole Miss will have an advantage on Saturday. Both teams have offenses based on long-established ‘West Coast’ principles. The formative coaching years of Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian were spent learning the ‘West Coast,’ primarily from Norm Chow.
Both coaches took that solid base and expanded it as Offensive Coordinators and Head Coaches, incorporating other systems including vertical routes, play-action, spread and RPO.
