Before we open the hood and take apart the engine of a Kirby Moore offense, let’s get some caveats out of the way:
- Fresno State’s head coach, Jeff Tedford, is a really smart, experienced offensive mind who absolutely had influence over scheme, design, and scripting of plays.
- Jake Haener was the best quarterback in the Mountain West and had four years of playing experience.
- As a conference, the Mountain West was a pretty terrible conference from a quality standpoint, barely better than the ragtag bunch of teams currently on the Conference USA roster.
