RPOs make a lot of sense to me. I'm not sure bootlegs do, though: limited sample size but there were quite a few of them against Davis and, for whatever reason, basically all of 'em failed.

My thought on bootlegs is that Costello has issues with his mobility right now, and might be affecting his ability to throw accurately on the run (I think there have been scattered out of pocket experiences since Davis, and I don't remember any successes).  I like the idea if he can make the throws.

I'd love to see the offense start to incorporate some RPO concepts over the long term, but that is not the sort of thing you do if you need a short term fix.  Look at Kelly's struggles to implement a new system at UCLA, and it would be a similar undertaking to implement RPO, except we'd be doing it midseason!  Also, who would implement it?  Our offensive staff does not have experience running an RPO based offense.  Maybe with the benefits of spring and summer practices, but not 6 weeks into the season.
