TE and fullback was the major (massive) difference. That along with Baylor not blitzing near as much as last year. Also by Baylor not having Oakman nor the kid that is serving time on their defensive line it gave our kids confidence against them.

Kid that is serving time never suited up or played. Would have zero impact on a 2014 vs 2015 comparison.

Play action and the counteraction plays from multiple players in the backfield slows the rush too. The Run N Shoot was always unstable-the bet is they can unload a pass in 3-4 seconds before the DLM unload on the QB. If the Run N Shoot QB doesn't release the ball in 4 seconds-there are going to be sacks
Or if you have 5 400 lb Polynesians that can allow you to hold the ball for 7 seconds, that works too
.
that only worked in the WAC Lite against a powder-puff schedule-it didn't work against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Hawaii was one of the least competitive BCS Bowl teams ever. It never worked at SMU when they were playing a strong defense, The Run N Shoot is unstable-on any play a defense can bring more defenders than there are blockers to block them

True, I am just saying he was one less good player to worry about.

Hawaii was completely over matched against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
Orsini bit on the " biggest turn around in college football" JJ tag line.
I wonder what Orsini is doing now ? I can't believe he is an AD having missed so badly on his FB and BB hires.

Didn't he hire Larry Brown before he got fired?

Wasn't he pretty much forced into doing so?

Perhaps the sarcasm wasn't turned up loud enough
