hough Jeff Brohm may not have had the
ideal pieces this spring up front and at
receiver to truly showcase what his offense
could be — and maybe will be soon — there were
at least hints. The exclusive no-huddle with an
ability to dictate tempo is intriguing, as well as
the constant shifts and misdirection, "eye candy"
that often can generate conflict of assignment for
defenders. Brohm's numerous run-pass option
plays can freeze linebackers, too, and any extra
second to deliver a pass or create angles in block-
ing could be huge for an offense that lacks depth
and experience across the starting unit. So there
certainly were glimpses this spring of potential
for an explosive unit. Too bad the more underlying
impression was how creative Brohm is going to
have to be, maybe without much choice, consid-
ering the skill level. … Perhaps the best element
to the offense is Brohm seems intent on identi-
fying playmakers and putting them in position to
get the ball. Tight ends Cole Herdman and
Brycen Hopkins must be on the field often,
