re: I expect an OC that runs a spread, up tempo offense, that can get the play in in time....

Also spread is just a philosophy. Plenty of teams play big boy smashmouth football out of a spread

Not only that, big boy smashmouth football is actually more effective out of the spread because it opens up the middle of the LOS for more wide-open running lanes especially at the second level. Think opposite of Les Miles.

Balanced isn't 50% run, 50% pass. Balanced is spreading it out to all your playmakers no matter the position. That way the defense can't key in on one player. If you're 50% run then you're more than likely giving half of your offensive touches to 1 guy in the running back position. There's nothing balanced about that.
