Didn't know where to put this and didn't think it warranted it's own thread, but here is a couple minute clip of Coach Hofher talking about RPOs.
With Dekkers under helm…

I sincerely hope we throw downfield (more than 20 yards in air) at least 7-10 times a game. It makes the safety's play honest and spreads out the defense and linebackers will be a step deeper preparing for having to do coverage at snap.
I also want some unpredictable play, like first drive of a half, first play with H-back and one TE in game, to run Noel or X on a hitch and go and chuck it deep. If it is not open, throw it away, but with a QB with a strong arm and fast receivers, this will set a tone. Do it against SEMS and we may be up 7-0 right off the bat. It will give UI something to prep for as well. We have to get the ball in the hands of our weapons in position to win. What better way?
I also believe that since SEMS is not very good, we could run the ball every play, dominate the line and win comfortably in the end, but many fans would be most unhappy and the QB would not gain the rhythm he needs.
I also think the coaches want to get a big lead in two of the NonCon games so the backup QB's get some live reps. They need to know how these guys play in front of a crowd.

How about creativity focused on the weaknesses of our opponents?? That means that it will likely have to change for each game—-just like the opponent’s weaknesses will be different with each game! Wouldn’t THAT be a unique concept?
Nothing will change due to new personnel. Run for 2 yards, run for -2 yards, completed pass for 8 yards, punt. Wash, rinse repeat. Manning just sucks and it is sad CMC stays with his buddy.
Campbell is the one who sets the agenda. He is directly involved with the game plan and certainly responsible for managing the flow of the game.
This is not accurate at all. You have obviously created this in your head because you don’t like Manning. The offense has not had trouble moving the ball, just untimely mistakes or questionable short yardage plays.
The ISU offenses the last 4 years have actually been some of the best in team history.
Manning knows his ****. Do you think maybe Campbell could have the final say on what plays are actually called.
From knowing someone inside the program they say he has his hands on every part of play calling.

The recipe for success in football is to run the football offensively and stop the run defensively.
This has been nagging at me.
“At the helm”, not “under” it.

Yes, the guy who has been the architect of some of the best offenses in Iowa State history, both in yards gained and points scored, sucks. The last three years under Manning, 40 percent of the first downs made by the team have come on first down, the highest percentage of any college football team during this time. So your narrative is false from the get-go.
Finally!! Hopefully defense takes notes on all the 3rd and 4-6 yards they give up first downs because they play way off the line of scrimmage in those situations. Drove me nuts. Knew exactly where the offense was going to throw it.
Now that you mentioned it, time out while the play is under further review.
After further review, the ball will be spotted at the 7 yard line.
First and goal, Iowa State!
The real issue has been the quality of offensive line play. You are talking about symptoms of the core issue: our offensive lines have performed at a "C" level. Get it to a B level and everything else will fall into place.
Brock had happy feet because a lot of the time he was running for his life.
The last thing safeties do if you spread it out all the time is "cheat up.". They cheat up when you pound them with running game and an occasional RPO.
If he couldn't see over his line then why did he have a high completion percentage?
