Offensive Football Genius in Bowl Games

Here are two bowl games with awesome offenses to consider:

Last night the Baylor Bears beat the North Carolina Tarheels 49-38.  And they did it without their star receiver Coleman.  And without their first-string QB Russell and without their second-string QB Stridham.  Instead pass-happy Baylor ran the ball for 645 rushing yards and 38 first downs.  And they did that without their RB Linwood. Five different players took snaps from center, four of them threw passes.  Art Briles may be a whiner, but he is an offensive genius.  Any chance Tim Beck could talk with Briles in the offseason?

Last week the Boise State Broncos beat Northern Illinois Huskies 55-7.  That's the same Northern Illinois team that was tied 13-13 with Ohio State until the fourth quarter, when the Buckeye defense scored the go-ahead TD.  In all fairness, the Huskies played the bowl game with their back-up Freshman QB Graham.  However, the Broncos' offense had 654 total yards and 35 first downs against the Huskies, the same Huskie defense that held Ohio State's offense to 2 of 13 on third-down conversions.  Is it possible to swap the Broncos' OC Drinkwitz for Beck at Ohio State?
