I just got around to watching two of Geno's games from his sophomore year. USF & Pitt (Baldwin has a few cameos lol).

I've read several times on this board that he played in a pro style offense that year, but 2 games in and it sure looked like a spread system to me. He was in the shotgun over 90% of the time.

I will say that I actually think he will be better under center. From what I have seen, he's much better when his feet are under him and when taking the drops from under center he consistently has his feet under control. He had a beautiful TD pass from under center off of PA in the USF game. He seems to get sloppy footwork sometimes in the shotgun & pistol. I'm thinking that his college offenses weren't the best fit for him.
