Anyone who has followed Iowa State basketball over the past four years has heard the term "mismatch" used like it was going out of style. Whether it was Hoiball's spacing or the constant isolation plays for Georges Niang the term aptly applied to what Iowa State was running on the court.
Similar concepts apply in football as well. Despite all of this talk about Hurry Up, No Huddle, Spread, or any other type of brand one wants to put on a system the concept remains the same: get your best players the ball in situations they can exploit.
