"Really good book. I enjoy this author's work" according to Amazon Customer. Really good book. I enjoy this author's work.. FictionFan said Play the next play. This is the story of how a college coach, Hal Mumme, developed an “unstoppable” offense that would defeat even the biggest, strongest defenses; and of how that offense gradually spread throughout college football and into the professional leagues, changing the very nature of the game – the Air Raid offen. Superb education in how we have the football we have today Bookwine Everything is here if you want to understand modern footballHow the pass evolved; what specific structures (run and shoot, etc.) evolved to exploit the pass; what defenses did to try and counter the pass; what has to happen in order for a team to actually run the so-called "hurry up" offense for an entire game; what kind
"The most entertaining book on football this decade."—Allen Barra, The Dallas Morning News“Excellent sports history an inspiring reminder that great ideas don't automatically permeate the existing ideology. Gwynne captures perfectly how Hal Mumme's Air Raid offense helped change the landscape of college football forever. You had to throw away everything you knew or you were going to get beat. S.C.

Their quarterback once completed sixty-one of eighty-six passes, both collegiate records.In The Perfect Pass, S.C. The Perfect Pass is the story of how he irreverently destroyed and re-created the game.Mumme spent fourteen mostly losing seasons coaching football before inventing a potent passing offense that would soon shock players, delight fans, and terrify opposing coaches. Implementing their “Air Raid” offense, their teams—at Iowa Wesleyan and later at Valdosta State and the University of Kentucky—played blazingly fast—faster than any team ever had before, and they routinely beat teams with far more talented athletes. In the cornfields of Iowa, while scribbling plays on paper napkins, these two mad inventors, drawn together by a shared disregard for conventionalism and a love for Jimmy Buffett, began to engineer the purest, most extreme passing game in the 145-year history of football. Whether you’re a casual or ravenous football fan, this is a truly compelling story of A
