I realize he’s a freshman and very raw. If Monken or Dana were OC then Bowman could most likely thrive because their offenses adapt well to a pocket passer. On the other hand, Gundy’s offense needs a mobile QB. So if we are to run this Dunn/Gundy offense, Bowman can’t play anymore and we need to let Smith be the guy. He is mobile and fast. The RPO is a critical part of Dunn’s scheme. It opens up the running lanes and vision for the RB. Notice how #3 found easier lanes and his vision improved when the threat of Smith running the ball dictated the asu defense. The run will then open up the pass for Smith. He needs reps and will make mistakes, but with his running threat it will open up easier passing routes that give the receivers room to catch and run. They also won’t be getting killed when they catch a pass. Should allow for YAC as they run their routes. Yards after catch should increase significantly.
