Any kind of gimmick offense is going to struggle in a bowl game where the defense has 5 weeks to prepare. This is the worst element to the bowl system (even worse than the lack of a playoff). These games are nothing like the football that is played all season on 1-2 weeks prep time. Just imagine if the NFL playoffs reached the superbowl and then took a break until march. Florida said they spent a month practicing against the no-huddle and that the OU offense was slower than what they practiced against. Take away the ridiculous prep time and you play a whole different game (for both teams).
As for this offense it is simply the latest high school gimmick run amok in college football.
