Attack of the Clones: Can TCU become first Air Raid attack to win title since 2000 Sooners?

When Mike Leach brought the Air Raid offense to Norman in 1999, it didn't take long for splashy results.

The system revitalized a moribund Oklahoma program, turned Josh Heupel into a star and quickly started its migration throughout the Big 12 and college football, sparking the Clone Wars.

It took just a year after Leach's arrival — with Leach himself having moved on to a head coaching job at Texas Tech — for the Air Raid to break through and win a national championship when the Sooners went undefeated, beating Florida State in the Orange Bowl to give OU its first title since 1985.
