Utah football: With start of spring ball, Dennis Erickson promises to speed up offense Erickson,air jordan 7 orion blue, who was brought out of retirement to be the Utes,co-offensive coordinator alongside Brian Johnson, will get his first look at the Utes in action when Utah opens spring practice Tuesday.
The challenge is to liven up Utah’s offense enough to make it dangerous without completely overhauling it to the point the Utes are faced with another transition year. Can the Utes get that done, Well, they aren’t paying Erickson $275,000 a year to just hang out and tell stories about the old days.
His first priority is to speed up Utah’s offense. The Utes averaged only 66.4 plays a game last year. In Erickson’s mind, a good team should average in at least the 70s and ideally in the 80s.
"We might not go ramp speed," he said. "But we are going to do a lot of no-huddle. We are going to put a lot of emphasis on the short passing routes, which you have to practice a lot to become good. I am a firm believer you have to get something established and branch off that. We are going to start with everything the same and keep it as simple as possible to go from point A to point B."
Things have been anything but simple for the Utes in recent seasons as the offense has dealt with coaching changes and injuries at the quarterback position.
However, Utah hopes it can establish more consistency with Travis Wilson at quarterback and an improved offensive line. After spending the majority of his time since he was hired in February watching film and strategizing with Utah’s other offensive coaches, Erickson believes the Utes aren’t far off from being a good offense,cheap jordan 11, even if they ranked near or last in the Pac-12 in the major offensive categories last year.
"Watching Utah the last couple years, they’ve been darn good, but the injuries have been horrible," he said. "We’ve been putting our minds together and what we want to do is simplify the run game,air jordan black cement 3, and do almost everything out of the shotgun offense with three wides or four wides or two tight ends and still run the same play."
Erickson believes he has the makings of a good quarterback in Wilson, who finished 128 for 204 for 1,311 yards,buy jordan retro 11, seven touchdowns and six interceptions in his rookie campaign.
