Its gonna be interesting.
On one hand you have Kyle pass 1st playcalling which results in about 60/40 pass run split.
Griffin's physical talents as a passer would actually support/justify Kyle's pass 1st playcalling.
If the offense stays exactly the same we could see better execution and more explosive plays.
Griffin's running ability is the flip side to the coin.
Griff poses a huge threat the backside contain (DE/OLB) which will slow or prevent the backside pursuit which should make it easier to run the ball.
No team is gonna want to get caught with their backside contain crashing down only to see Griffin keep the ball on a bootleg because something like this could be the result:
With the defense forced to play Griff honest it will make it easier to run the ball.
If its easier to run the ball then Kyle might call more run plays which would bring balance to the playcalling and make the play action/boot action passing game much more effective.
But then again, Kyle could emerse himseld in Art Briles offense and emerge with an offense that favors the formations and concepts from Baylor's offense.
And the result could be something like the Bills, Lions, Packers and Panthers all shotgun spread all the time.
