There will be a couple of new faces on the Arizona offense this weekend that weren’t in the spotlight until recently. Injury, dismissal, and some poor play has lead to the arrivals of QB Brandon Dawkins, and freshman RB J.J. Taylor. And if last week’s 582 yard offensive performance is any indication, they’re both ready to take the reigns of the Wildcat offense.
The Basics
Arizona runs a spread offense that Coach Rich Rodriguez made famous during his days at West Virginia with players like Pat White and Steve Slayton. What began as an up tempo, pass first, run-and-shoot style offense in his early years at Grambling State has evolved to incorporate more running, and can morph further depending on personnel.
