This week on In the Gun...

It's the final installment of Jed Drenning's deep dive into the history and evolution of Rich Rodriguez's famous high-flying spread offense. While everyone knows Rich Rod's ability to scheme up things extremely well in the run game, he's had some explosive passing attacks as well. Jed looks at the numbers in both facets of the offense, his approach to fourth downs, and what happens when his teams outrush the opponent and win the turnover battle.
