PULLMAN – Between taking aim at California’s infrastructure, handicapping a battle royale of Pac-12 Conference mascots and sharing tales of Gardner Minshew’s scantily clad exercise routines, Mike Leach reserved a few minutes of his Monday news conference to talk football strategy and offensive strategy ahead of Saturday’s conference opener with UCLA.
Someday, when college football historians write about the offensive revolution that took place in the 21st century, much of their research will harken back to the Air Raid concepts Leach popularized at Texas Tech and the spread-option schemes devised by Chip Kelly in his time at Oregon.
